“The phoebe-bird is a wise architect and perhaps enjoys as great an immunity from danger, both in its person and its nest, as any other bird.

“England is like the margin of a spring-run: near its source, always green, always cool, always moist, comparatively free from frost in winter and from drought in summer.”

“I have discovered the secret of happiness. It is work.”

“There's only one Sabbath guitarist and he is the architect for everything, Tony Iommi.”

“As an architect, you have to provide a shelter to enjoy art. And you have to love art. It's like when you make a concert hall. You must love music. This is the reason why you make the space, to enjoy music - making a space for art is the same thing.”

“My dad designed houses and was an architect for many years.”
