"The stories we tell ourselves shape who we become."

译文：立身处世切记不要胡作非为，要懂得约束自己的言行，以免让父母蒙受羞辱；创家立业，求取功名利禄，一定要深思熟虑，以免让自己的子孙遭受祸患。赏析：人的一生，离不开社会，离不开俗世尘埃，所以，人的一切言行举止都应该考虑后果，考虑自己的言行是否给父母或孩子带去坏的名声。

I like to think of architecture as a frame for life.

Take long walks in stormy weather or through deep snows in the fields and woods, if you would keep your spirits up. Deal with brute nature. Be cold and hungry and weary.

儿童书籍应该充满温暖，而不仅仅是说教。

艺术家必须是神圣的仆人。

The truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

艺术家的任务不是屈服于绝望，而是为存在的空虚找到解药。
