“But architects are not makers of public policy, and while they can design whatever they please, they can build only what a client wants to pay for. It is not the architect’s role to solve the problem of housing the poor. It is the architect’s role to give the poor the very best housing possible when society decides it is ready to address this urgent problem. The same applies for education and health care and every other social need that can be satisfied, in part, by more and better buildings: it is the job of architects to design the best buildings, the most beautiful and civilized and useful ones, but society must be willing to address these problems before the architect can do his or her best work.”
― Paul Goldberger, Why Architecture Matters

“What we understand is that society must allow room for the irrational, in healthy balance with the rational.”
― Robin Robertson, The Bacchae

“SECOND WARNING

“Understanding that people are always a worse version of who they want to be is a way of loving them.”
