Quotes by Tadao Andō (?)

“If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.”

“I want each of you to go through life making the most of your individuality. Like it or not, you will go out into the real world and be treated as an adult. Adults show each other no mercy. If you fail to cultivate within yourself a fight-back mentality, society will end up controlling you.”
