What I like best about San Francisco is San Francisco.

Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth. It is at least the geometric pattern of things, of life, of the human and social world. It is at best that magic framework of reality that we sometimes touch upon when we use the word order.

I think Miss Monroe as architecture is extremely good architecture, and she's a very natural actress, and a very good one.

The sense of space within the reality of any building is a new concept wherever architecture is concerned. But it is essential ancient principle just the same and is not only necessary now but implied by the ideal of democracy itself.

You can't make an architect. But you can open the doors and windows toward the light as you see it.

Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral.

The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.
