Teacher, teacher you taught me so much
Meeting you was fate
To show me there is much more
Than what was presented
Instead of looking on the outside
You showed me to look within
Everything is not what it seems
Can't just go by on what you see
Dear Professor Quintana I will always cherish my talks with you on exotic lands. The papers you always encouraged me to write. The stories you shared. I will never forget you.

I will never forget your quotes in design class with you...
"Good architecture is when one designs Aesthetics, Purpose and Fuction in to a single building. Only then is it Architecture."
"If you compete for the sake of winning, you will never win. But if you design with your mind and heart, then trophies will shower upon you! Yet not one will give you the pride you have for your work."

Conoci a Nicolas en 1994 al fundarse el Cuban National Heritage y tuve el gusto y privilegio de asistir a varias de sus conferencias y disfrute mucho el escuchar sus historias sobre su obra y vida en Cuba y fuera de ella y sus planes para una Habana posible en el futuro. Se nos ha ido un grande de la arquitectura cubana, y un amante de la Habana pasada, presente y futura! Hasta Siempre, Maestro!

Nicolas, un amigo ejemplar, arquitecto, profesor, y una gran persona. Gracias a el pude conocer a la ciudad que perdi en mi infancia. Su gran vision siempre fue reconstruir y salvar nuestro patrimonio y cultura cubana, con un amor especial hacia la Habana. El mundo nos ortoga pocos como este gran maestro, pero sin duda, su legado existe y permanece en todos los que nos ha iluminado, y no sera olvidado.
EPD Nicolas.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Nicolas: you enriched our lives with your wonderful stories, your love for Cuba and its architecture, your teachings, your warmth, and your infectious smile. You will always be in our hearts.
