Why is wisdom so fair? Why is beauty so wise?Because all else is temporary, while beauty and wisdom are the only real and constant aspects of truth that can be perceived by human means.And I don't mean the kind of surface beauty that fades with age, or the sort of shallow wisdom that gets lost in platitudes.True beauty grips your gut and squeezes your lungs, and makes you see with utmost clarity exactly is before you.True wisdom then steps in, to interpret, illuminate, and form a life-altering insight.

Louis E. Boone

People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming.

Rem Koolhaas

Respect for another man's opinion is worthy. It is the realization that any opinion is valuable, for it is the sign of a rational being.

Sargent Shriver

Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.

Marsha Norman

The elimination of the will altogether and the switching off of the emotions all and sundry, is tantamount to the elimination of reason: intellectual castration.

Friedrich Nietzsche

You never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.

Dale Carnegie
