Freedom is from within....

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.

A man is a fool if he drinks before he reaches the age of 50, and a fool if he doesn't afterward.

An architect's most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board, and a wrecking bar at the site.

Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.

Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.

In my youth I stressed freedom, and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order.

Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death.
