I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
I'm not going to let anyone tell me what to do.
The architect's task is to make space habitable, to make it alive.
Nothing is really beautiful but truth, truth alone is lovely.
你不能只是坐在那里等待别人给你那个金色的梦想。你必须走出去,为自己实现它。
——《临时大总统就职宣言》,1912年
