Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.

If you were a son of mine, I wouldn't want you to be an architect, because it's a tough way to be in the world.

Let every man feel that he is the architect and builder of his own life, and that he proposes to make a success of it by working.

If you have ambitions, dream of what you wish to accomplish, and then put your shoulder to the wheel and work.

God has a plan for you - I can promise you that. Your life is sacred. There is and always has been a path for your soul, and if you follow that path, it will lead you to the inner utopia that your soul longs to experience in this lifetime.

Architecture is the story of how we see ourselves. It is the architect's job to service everyday life.

I would never live in anything I design. Life and art are different. My life is very precious to me - my art is precious to me. I love designing things for other people, but I don't like designing things for myself.

The ultimate goal of the architect...is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture... should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.

If you have spent your life building Ineos, and you find yourself in a crisis, you are going to do anything you can to save what you have been building.
