"When I studied traditional architecture, I was constantly running up against questions of fengshui. Not understanding fengshui is as serious an obstacle to the student of traditional architecture as not knowing English would be to a student of English literature."
「我在研究台灣傳統建築的時候，就不斷遇到風水問題；甚至可以這樣說：對於一個有心想認真研究傳統建築的人而言，不瞭解風水是很嚴重的障礙，就像研究英國文學而不通英文一樣。」
