It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.

过去已经写就，墨迹已干。

建筑是价值观的表达。

改变的秘诀在于集中你所有的精力，不是对抗旧的，而是建立新的。

The best buildings come from the careful consideration of the needs of the people who will use them.

"The human voice is the most powerful tool we have to convey the depth of our experiences."

我们想要一个人民可以自由的选择、犯错、持有宽容及同情心的社会。这就是我们所谓的道德社会；不是一个国家要负所有责任，而没有人须要为国家负责的社会。
