"Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves." ~Julia Morgan
“Architecture is the art of how to waste space.” ~Philip Johnson
"Architecture is the thoughtful making of space." ~Louis Kahn
"Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.” ~Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
"Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness." ~Frank Gehry
"I enjoy art, architecture, museums, churches and temples; anything that gives me insight into the history and soul of the place I'm in. I can also be a beach bum - I like to laze in the shade of a palm tree with a good book or float in a warm sea at sundown." ~Cherie Lunghi
'It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time." ~David Allan Coe
"The Gothic cathedral is a blossoming in stone subdued by the insatiable demand of harmony in man. The mountain of granite blooms into an eternal flower, with the lightness and delicate finish, as well as the aerial proportions and perspective of vegetable beauty." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson on Architecture
“The height of the building has a direct relationship on how deep its foundation.” ~Leo Carlo Panlilio
"The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization." ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
"There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds." ~Gilbert K. Chesterton
"Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward Heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith." ~Walter Gropius
"We can't really appreciate the grandeur of Europe from the photos we see. Even in medieval times, they built on a scale and with such ornateness as we in the U.S. have never conceived. My son was highly skeptical of the excessive riches and splendor he had expected to see in London and Paris, but seeing made a believer of him. These places are OLD and yet they put modern architecture to shame for their enormity, beauty, and complexity. Yes, they are opulent and most likely paid for on the backs of those who could least afford it. But the citizens are proud of their heritage, and well they should be. The blood, sweat, and tears of their ancestors went into creations that have stood the test of time." ~Edie Talley (2013)
"Whenever they rebuild an old building, they must first of all destroy the old one." ~Rumi

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to." ~Jim Jarmusch
"Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before." ~Audre Lorde
"Space is the breath of art." ~Frank Lloyd Wright
