The dialogue between old and new is what gives a city its richness.

I'm not here to be perfect; I'm here to be real.

富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移。越是富贵，越是不能骄傲；越是贫穷，越要坚守志向。虽然尊敬贤能的人，但也不能贬斥那些愚笨不肖的人。

I was not born blind, I became blind at the age of 12, but I never felt like a victim.

我不会等待风暴过去，我会在雨中跳舞。

竞争是好事，它迫使你不断进步。

Architecture is a political act; it shapes how we live together.
