Payne "When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way - before one began." - Friedrich Nietzsche Bill Sanderson "Architecture can't fully represent the chaos and turmoil that are part of the human personality, but you need to put some of that turmoil into the architecture, or it isn't real." - Frank Stella Chris Gall "Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold." - Ralph Waldo Emerson Gary Kelley "You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality." - Walt Disney Ted Wright "Monuments are for the living, not the dead." - Frank Wedekind Eric Drooker "Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise." - Adolf Loos Kinuko Y. Craft "The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose." - Edward Coke Tim Bower "Whatever good things we build end up building us." - Jim Rohn Mark Summers "There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers' battle with the heavens that cover them." - Federico Garcia Lorca David Johnson "And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important." - Minoru Yamasaki Maria Corte Maidagan "A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart." - Frank Lloyd Wright Goni Montes "There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds." - Gilbert K.
