Beauty is the oracle that speaks to us all.

Life deprived of beauty is not worthy of being called human.

I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.

A garden must combine the poetic and the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.

I don't divide architecture, landscape and gardening; to me they are one.

My house is my refuge, an emotional piece of architecture, not a cold piece of convenience.
