"Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth. It is at least the geometric pattern of things, of life, of the human and social world. It is, at best, that magic framework of reality that we sometimes touch upon when we use the word 'order'." - Frank Lloyd Wright
"Architecture is the plant fertilizer of our lives; it is the way to be a big, great-tasting tomato." - Robert Sullivan

"The great thing about being an architect is that you can walk into your dreams." - Harold E. Wagoner
"Less is more." - Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
"More is more." - Robert Venturi
