“Men were created before women. ... But that doesn't prove their superiority – rather, it proves ours, for they were born out of the lifeless earth in order that we could be born out of living flesh. And what's so important about this priority in creation, anyway? When we are building, we lay foundations on the ground first, things of no intrinsic merit or beauty, before subsequently raising up sumptuous buildings and ornate palaces. Lowly seeds are nourished in the earth, and then later the ravishing blooms appear; lovely roses blossom forth and scented narcissi.”

Where we're standing right now, in the ruins in the dark, what we build could be anything.”

“When the old way of seeing was displaced, a hollowness came into architecture. Our buildings show a constant effort to fill that void, to recapture that sense of life which was once to be found in any house or shed. Yet the sense of place is not to be recovered through any attitude, device, or style, but through the principles of pattern, spirit, and context." - Jonathan Hale, The Old Way of Seeing, 1994”

“Labor has four parts to celebrate:
work, rest from work,
appreciation of the work done (yours and others),
and the recognition of how your work
has shaped you.
When you build a house, you have both a house and a builder.
When you plant a garden, you have plants
and a gardener, too.
When you teach, if you remain open to the discovery itself,
you have a lifetime of learning.
Engage with the world and it will hone you,
more connected, more able to love all the world,
including all the hard parts.”
