- A civilization is built on what is required of men, not on that which is provided for them.
- A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
- A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
