Environment & Nature
“What we take for granted might not be here for our children.”
“A truly great structure, one that is meant to stand the tests of time never disregards its environment. A serious architect takes that into account. He knows that if he wants presence, he must consult with nature.”
“I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me that's because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that's such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life."
“In the end, I'd still prefer the sound of the wind in the firs across the brook more than the tinkling of crystal.”
“Nature is not created in the image of man’s compassion.”
“I believe we would all behave quite differently if we lived in a warm, sunny climate all the time. We wouldn’t be so withdrawn and shy and difficult.”
“Don’t miss the wonders that surround you because every tree, every rock, every anthill, every star is filled with the wonders of nature.”
