Philip Johnson

I design dreams into reality.

Critics are like eunuchs; they know what it's like but can't do it.

Architecture evolves with society.

My legacy is in the spaces I created.

Simplicity is the hardest thing to achieve.

Houses should hug the earth.

I love the play of light on surfaces.

Architecture is a conversation with history.

Never be afraid to borrow ideas.

The future of architecture is eclectic.

Joy in design is paramount.

Buildings are our autobiography.

Ornament is not a crime.

I build to inspire.

Reflection is key to great design.

Architecture without soul is mere engineering.

My last words: Keep building beautifully.

Trends come and go; elegance endures.
