You don’t even really need a place. But you feel like you’re doing something. That is what coffee is. And that is one of the geniuses of the new coffee culture.

One of the huge imbalances in life is the disparity between your daily existence, with its routines and habits, and the dream you have within yourself of some extraordinarily satisfying way of living.

I don’t know if I could do this with the same energy, and in the same way – all the costume changes and glitter and hair and makeup – all the time. When I’m in my 50s, I kind of think I’ll want to be in a garden.

Many people in the western world are spoiled by the conveniences of our culture.

The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.

I’ll live in Puerto Rico until the day I die.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.
