Glorious and beautiful
Were youth's feeling and youth's thought-
Would that we did not annul
All that in us then was wrought !
Would their influence could remain
When the hope and dream depart ;
Would we might through life retain
Still some youth within the heart ! (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)

Nikola Tesla

Designing is a matter of concentration. You go deep into what you want to do. It's about intensive research, really. The concentration is warm and intimate and like the fire inside the earth - intense but not distorted. You can go to a place, really feel it in your heart. It's actually a beautiful feeling.

Peter Zumthor

There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Tintinnabulation is an area I sometimes wander into when I am searching for answers--in my life, my music, my work. In my dark hours, I have the certain feeling that everything outside this one thing has no meaning.
