Whoever is happy will make others happy too....

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.

Half a century ago, the amazing courage of Rosa Parks, the visionary leadership of Martin Luther King, and the inspirational actions of the civil rights movement led politicians to write equality into the law and make real the promise of America for all her citizens.

I have amazing friends who have led inspirational lives.

When Maurice touched a keyboard, it was like something from a movie, magical. He would always give you something from a movie, and you'd go, what did you just play... immediately inspirational writings, amazing. That's what we're going to miss.

Architecture is not an inspirational business, it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things that's all.
