**AND HERE ARE SOME QUOTES, MOSTLY BY ARCHITECTS, FOR AMUSEMENT:**
"A doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines."
"We shape our buildings: thereafter they shape us."
"I call architecture frozen music."
“There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature. Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners.”
“Early in my career...I had to choose between an honest arrogance and a hypercritical humility... I deliberately choose an honest arrogance, and I've never been sorry.”
"Architecture is inhabited sculpture."
"98% of what gets built today is shit."
"The door handle is the handshake of the building."
"God is in the details."
"Everything is designed. Few things are designed well."
"Good architecture is like a good therapy session, a good marriage, a good poem – gently and almost invisibly allowing you to be you, as flawed and as beautiful as you are."
"Very often the opinion of the clients must be disregarded in their own interest."
"All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks."
"Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea."
"I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do."
"There is a danger when every building has to look spectacular; to look like it is changing the world. I don't care how a building looks if it means something, not to architects, but to the people who use it."
"For the most part things never get built the way they were drawn.”
