I hate vacations. If you can build buildings why sit on the beach?

It is not the beauty of a building you should look at its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.

But the building's identity resided in the ornament.

To me a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.

Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique poetic products of the heart.

A great building must begin with the unmeasurable must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.

The higher the building the lower the morals.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking but all in harmony together.

Light God's eldest daughter is a principal beauty in a building.

We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.

A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom.

Whatever good things we build end up building us.

We shape our buildings thereafter they shape us.

The anger that appears to be building up between the sexes becomes more virulent with every day that passes. And far from women taking the blame... the fact is that men are invariably portrayed as the bad guys. Being a good man is like being a good Nazi.

With so many amazing artists on one bill we expect this concert to be incredibly powerful in its ability to raise both money and awareness for the long-term rebuilding effort we must all support.

When you think of what Americans accomplished building these amazing cities and all the good it's done in the world it's kind of disheartening to hear so much hatred of America not just from abroad but internally.

With fitness I do Bikrams hot yoga. The gym that I have in my building is amazing. I love to do cardio and weights there.

First let me report that the art in the Barnes Collection has never looked better. My trips to the old Barnes were always amazing but except on the sunniest days you could barely see the art. The building always felt pushed beyond its capacity.

Highly educated young people are tutored taught and monitored in all aspects of their lives except the most important which is character building. When it comes to this most universities leave them alone.

A truly great book should be read in youth again in maturity and once more in old age as a fine building should be seen by morning light at noon and by moonlight.

The answer to old age is to keep one's mind busy and to go on with one's life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.
