I loved school. I studied like crazy. I was a Class A nerd.

I'm not in a hurry to do a lot of projects. I am very resolved in each project I take on.

If we forget what used to be, then we’ve lost an ability to really be sensitive to our surroundings.

I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.

It terrified me to have an idea that was solely mine to be no longer a part of my mind, but totally public.

If you don't remember history accurately, how can you learn?

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.
