I try to make buildings that have a certain presence, a certain dignity, a certain atmosphere.

The writer’s role is to question, not to comfort.

The best thing about me is that I’m not you.

如果你对大人们说：我看到一幢用玫瑰色的砖盖成的漂亮的房子，它的.窗户上有天竺葵，屋顶上还有鸽子他们怎么也想象不出这种房子有多么好。必须对他们说：我看见了一幢价值十万法郎的房子。那么他们就惊叫道：多么漂亮的房子啊！

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."

过去从未消逝，它甚至从未过去。
