Maya Lin Quotes

To fly we have to have resistance Picture Quote #1

It's funny, as you live through something you're not aware of it Picture Quote #1

For the most part things never get built the way they were drawn Picture Quote #1

Some of your teachers are actually closer in age to you than you think Picture Quote #1

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn’t about money. It was about teaching, or learning Picture Quote #1

It terrified me to have an idea that was solely mine to be no longer a part of my mind, but totally public Picture Quote #1

I also wanted remembering the past relevant to the present. Some people wanted me to put the names in alphabetical order. I wanted them in chronological order so that a veteran could find his time within the panel. It’s like a thread of life Picture Quote #1

You really can’t function as a celebrity. Entertainers are celebrities. I’m an architect. I’m an artist. I make things Picture Quote #1

An artist fights to retain the integrity of a work so that it remains a strong, clear vision. Art is and should be the act of an individual willing to say something new, something not quite familiar Picture Quote #1

I begin by imagining an artwork verbally. I try to describe in writing what the project is, what it is trying to do. I need to understand the artwork without giving it a specific materiality or solid form Picture Quote #1

To fly, we have to have resistance. It’s all about turbulence. Reacting to images of wave patterns in fluid motion Picture Quote #1

I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That’s art to me Picture Quote #1

I had very few friends. We always ate dinner with our parents. We didn’t want to go out. American adolescence was a lot wilder than I would have felt comfortable with Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have anyone to play with so I made up my own world Picture Quote #1

A lot of my works deal with a passage, which is about time. I don’t see anything that I do as a static object in space. It has to exist as a journey in time Picture Quote #1

The process I go through in the art and the architecture, I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it’s magical Picture Quote #1

My dad was dean of fine arts at the university. I was casting bronzes in the school foundry. I was using the university as a playground Picture Quote #1

It was a requirement by the veterans to list the 57,000 names. We’re reaching a time that we’ll acknowledge the individual in a war on a national level Picture Quote #1

If we can’t face death, we’ll never overcome it. You have to look it straight in the eye. Then you can turn around and walk back out into the light Picture Quote #1

I was always making things. Even though art was what I did every day, it didn’t even occur to me that I would be an artist Picture Quote #1

I probably have fundamentally antisocial tendencies. I never took one extracurricular activity. I just failed utterly at that level. Part of me still rebels against that Picture Quote #1

I really enjoyed hanging out with some of the teachers. This one chemistry teacher, she liked hanging out. I liked making explosives. We would stay after school and blow things up Picture Quote #1

I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination Picture Quote #1

I left science, then I went into art, but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them Picture Quote #1

How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It’s more evident now Picture Quote #1

Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don’t want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist Picture Quote #1

Art is very tricky because it’s what you do for yourself. It’s much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture Picture Quote #1
