"If you are crowded with that which does not belong to you, you will forget it; it will never be with you, and you will lose the sense of your worth.
"I revere learning because it is a fundamental inspiration... I am not that impressed by education. Learning, yes."

"To see was only to touch more accurately."

On beauty: "It is a total harmony you feel without knowing, without reservation, without criticism, without choice."

The book is divided into 3 parts and Lobell has decided the first part will be snippets of Louis Kahn's own words on various topics. Opening a book about an architect with the architect's words and finishing with the architect's built works!

"Louis Kahn saw architecture as the meeting of the measurable and the unmeasurable. He used the word "Silence" for the unmeasurable, for that which is not yet; and the word "Light" for the measurable, for that which is. Kahn saw architecture as existing at a threshold between Silence and Light"
