I've never had a treehouse because I live in New York City. It would be a little bit hard to fit a treehouse in a New York City apartment.

The city is like a great house, and the house in its turn a small city.

Historically, San Franciscans have not valued street trees as much as other communities have.

One great building does not make a great city.

The design of a city is like a strange archeology.

Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.

I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.

In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.

No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.

If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
