Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age (Ter Quotes)

Life always rides in strength to victory, not through internationalism. But only through the direct responsibility of the individual (Ter Quotes)
Organic buildings are the strength and lightness of the spiders' spinning, buildings qualified by light, bred by native character to environment, married to the ground (Ter Quotes)
Respect the masterpiece. It is true reverence to man. There is no quality so great, none so much needed now (Ter Quotes)
Architecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived (Ter Quotes)
Life always rides in strength to victory, not through internationalism... But only through the direct responsibility of the individual (Ter Quotes)
The architect must be a prophet... A prophet in the true sense of the term... If he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect (Ter Quotes)
A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults (Ter Quotes)
The world goes up and the world goes down, the sunshine follows the rain; and yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown can never come over again (Ter Quotes)
Every winter, when the great sun has turned his face away, the Earth goes down into a vale of grief, and fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables, leaving her wedding-garlands to decay-- then leaps in spring to his returning kisses (Ter Quotes)
See the land, her easter keeping, rises as her maker rose; seeds so long in darkness sleeping burst at last from winter snows. Earth with heaven above rejoices; fields and garlands hail the spring; shaughs and woodlands ring with voices while the wild birds build and sing (Ter Quotes)
Science frees us in many ways... From the bodily terror which the savage feels. But she replaces that, in the minds of many, by a moral terror which is far more overwhelming (Ter Quotes)
Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! A message to us from the dead - from human souls we never saw, who lived, perhaps, thousands of miles away. And yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, arouse us, terrify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers (Ter Quotes)
Depend upon it, a man never experiences such pleasure or grief after fourteen years as he does before, unless in some cases, in his first lovemaking, when the sensation is new to him (Ter Quotes)
Whatever may be the mysteries of life and death, there is one mystery which the cross of Christ reveals to us, and that is the infinite and absolute goodness of God. Let all the rest remain a mystery so long as the mystery of the cross of Christ gives us faith for all the rest (Ter Quotes)
Do not fancy, as too many do, that thou canst praise God by singing hymns to him in church once a week, and disobeying him all the week long. He asks of thee works as well as words; and more, he asks of thee works first and words after (Ter Quotes)
Ah, my friends, we must look out and around to see what God is like. It is when we persist in turning our eyes inward and prying curiously over our own imperfections, that we learn to make God after our own image, and fancy that our own darkness and hardness of heart are the patterns of his light and love (Ter Quotes)
Grandeur... Consists in form, and not in size: and to the eye of the philosopher, the curve drawn on a paper two inches long, is just as magnificent, just as symbolic of divine mysteries and melodies, as when embodied in the span of some cathedral roof (Ter Quotes)
High in the home of the summers, the seats of the happy immortals, shrouded in knee-deep blaze, unapproachable; there ever youthful hebe, harmonie, and the daughter of jove, aphrodite, whirled in the white-linked dance, with the gold-crowned hours and graces (Ter Quotes)
Do you think that a man is renewed by God's spirit, when except for a few religious phrases, and a little more outside respectability, he is just the old man, the same character at heart he ever was? (Ter Quotes)
This is eternal life; a life of everlasting love, showing itself in everlasting good works; and whosoever lives that life, he lives the life of God, and hath eternal life (Ter Quotes)
Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book, if art doesn't make us better, then what on Earth is it for (Ter Quotes)
I can be almost terminally grief-stricken because things are so dire, but at the same time, there's a real lightheartedness about just the recoverability of life, of how things change, how they're not the same, ever again (Ter Quotes)
Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it (Ter Quotes)
I think Africans are very much like white people back home, in that they think they are the center of the universe and that everything that is done is done for them (Ter Quotes)
And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see - or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read (Ter Quotes)
Just because the past didn't turn out like you had hoped, doesn't mean your future can't be better than you had envisioned (Ter Quotes)
If the egotist is weak, his egotism is worthless. If the egotist is strong, acute, full of distinctive character, his egotism is precious, and remains a possession of the race (Ter Quotes)
