“Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities...” — Louis Kahn Quote

“Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.”

“The street is a room by agreement.”

“You say to a brick, 'What do you want, brick?' And brick says to you, 'I like an arch.' And you say to brick, 'Look, I want one, too, but arches are expensive and I can use a concrete lintel.' And then you say: 'What do you think of that, brick?' Brick says: 'I like an arch.'”

“I know people who've had a nose job, and they've walked out feeling a million dollars, and their confidence is tenfold. Good on them! Natural beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes, but if you think surgery would right something you have a problem with, then why shouldn't you do it?”

“Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.”

“I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.”
