How precious a book is in light of the offering, in the light of the one who has the privilege of this offering. The library tells you of this offering

I just want to make my last demand in reverence to the work of what has been done by architects of the past. what was, has always been. what is, has always been. and what will be, has always been. such is the nature of beginning.

A room is not a room without natural light.

Also marvelous in a room is the light that comes through the windows of a room and that belongs to the room. The sun does not realize how beautiful it is until after a room is made. A man’s creation, the making of a room, is nothing short of a miracle. Just think, that a man can claim a slice of the sun.

Every time a student walks past a really urgent, expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college, it can help reassure him that he does have that mind, does have that soul.

I try to create homes, not houses.

The first thing that an architect must do is to sense that every building you build is a world of its own, and that this world of its own serves an institution.
