Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding.

An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.

I've never really had a hobby unless you count art which the IRS once told me I had to declare as a hobby since I hadn't made money with it.

An artist never really finishes his work he merely abandons it.

In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons.

The rules of navigation never navigated a ship. The rules of architecture never built a house.

I've never owned an Apple product. I like the fact that PCs are open architecture and not locked down like Apple products. I feel that Macs are also unjustifiably overpriced.

Winning a competition in architecture is a ticket to oblivion. It's just an idea. Ninety-nine per cent never get built.

The building of the architecture of a novel - the craft of it - is something I never tire of.
