J.R.R. Tolkien Quote

It's when I hear your heartbeat that I know that I am alive.

I have found so much beauty in the dark,as I have found a lot of horror in the light.

The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.

Every challenge, every adversity, contains within it the seeds of opportunity and growth.

You make name for yourself when you overcome pain, weakness, laziness and ignorance

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Now, 75 years [after ], in an abundant society where people have laptops, cell phones, iPods, and minds like empty rooms, I still plod along with books.

The intelligence we will create from the reverse-engineering of the brain will have access to its own source code and will be able to rapidly improve itself in an accelerating iterative design cycle....

I need to stop running back to you in my mind all the time.

Art is not about itself but the attention we bring to it.
