The average bright young man who is drafted hates the whole business because an army always tries to eliminate the individual differences in men.

All the revision in the world will not save a bad first draft: for the architecture of the thing comes or fails to come in the first conception and revision only affects the detail and ornament alas!

An architect's most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board and a wrecking bar at the site.

I was drafted into the Army when I was 19 and came out at age 22. Most people that I knew didn't think they'd come home alive. I didn't think I would either so I was happy when I did.
