I haven't any wisdom - just a child like everybody else. I'm not as great as Frank Lloyd Wright.

From the very fact the universe is on the whole orderly, in a manner comprehensible to our intellect, is evidence that we and it were fashioned by a common intelligence.

There's no such thing as old age. I'm no different now than I was 50 years ago. I'm just having more fun.

You're going to change the world? Well, go ahead and try. You'll give it up at a certain point and change yourself instead.

I'm a chameleon, so changeable. I see myself as a gadfly and a questioner.

I call myself a traditionalist, although I have fought against tradition all my life.

I like the thought that what we are to do on this earth is embellish it for its greater beauty, so that oncoming generations can look back to the shapes we leave here and get the same thrill that I get in looking back at theirs - at the Parthenon, at Chartres Cathedral.
