Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.

There is something else which has the power to awaken us to the truth. It is the works of writers of genius. They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies.

Simone Weil

Preventing war is the work of politicians, establishing peace is the work of educationists.

Maria Montessori

We want people to realize you are at a design school, not a land grant college. The way we look says a great deal about who we are.

James Hall

I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know? And for the last 20 years - you've got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and then go on your merry way and start again, in a sense, and that's what I've been doing.

Colin Hay

Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.

Charles Caleb Colton

He is bound to you, said the Queen. But does he love you?

Cassandra Clare

Let none think to fly the danger for soon or late love is his own avenger.

Lord Byron

It's amazing the relationships you forge in a kitchen. When you cooperate in an environment that's hot. Where there's a lot of knives. You're trusting your well-being with someone you've never before met or known.

Alexandra Guarnaschelli

There is no easy formula for determining right and wrong livelihood, but it is essential to keep the question alive. To return the sense of dignity and honor to manhood, we have to stop pretending that we can make a living at something that is trivial or destructive and still have sense of legitimate self-worth. A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls.

Sam Keen

He is great who is what he is from Nature, and who never reminds us of others.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is too short to occupy oneself with the slaying of the slain more than once.

Thomas Henry Huxley

Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.

Louis Kahn
