建筑应该是一种集体行为，建筑师与社会之间的对话。

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter.

君子会因人恭维赞美自己而疏远他，也会因对自己之言劝谏和他成为亲密的朋友。

The nightmare thought is that frightening people is the best way to get work out of them, and that somehow the crueler the environment, the more people will rise to the challenge. You want to think, who would you like as your ideal dad? And your ideal dad is somebody who is tough but gentle. And it's a very hard line to make. We need fathers, as it were, the exemplary father figures in society, avoiding the two extremes, which is the authoritarian disciplinarian on the one hand, and on the other, the lax, no-rules option.

The solution of a problem appears suddenly and is not approached by a gradual, step-by-step procedure.
