“Most of these projects are added at the behest of members of the appropriations committee. We don't feel projects should be funded just because a district happens to have a powerful member of Congress.”
Tom Finnigan
“A project is complete when it starts working for you, rather than you working for it.”
Scott Allen
“People ask me when I start one of these projects, what is your theme? I haven’t the faintest idea. That’s why you’re writing the book, it seems to me, to find out. To me, it’s a journey. It’s an adventure. It’s traveling in a country you’ve never been in and everything is going to be new, and because of that, vivid. And don’t make up your mind too soon. Let it be an experience.”
David McCullough
“Architects are pretty much high-class whores. We can turn down projects the way they can turn down some clients, but we've both got to say yes to someone if we want to stay in business.”
Philip Johnson
“You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.”
Donald Rumsfeld
“Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible”
Edwin Land
“True friends... face in the same direction, toward common projects, interests, goals.”
C.S. Lewis
