More quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
A man is a fool if he drinks before he reaches the age of 50, and a fool if he doesn't afterward.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Our forefathers were not only brave. I believe they were right. I believe that what they meant was that every man born had equal right to grow from scratch by way of his own power unhindered to the highest expression of himself possible to him.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Bureaucrats: they are dead at 30 and buried at 60. They are like custard pies you can't nail them to a wall.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I'll bridge these hills with graceful arches
Frank Lloyd Wright
Science can give us only the tools in the box, these mechanical miracles that it has already given us. But of what use to us are miraculous tools until we have mastered the humane, cultural use of them? We do not want to live in a world where the machine has mastered the man we want to live in a world where man has mastered the machine.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Each had his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends could only read the title. - Virginia Woolf, from Jacob's Room Television is chewing gum for the eyes.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Now, of course, architecture is a blind spot of our life in America today. How many millions of students go to the university to be educated?

Frank Lloyd Wright
Television is bubble-gum for the mind.
Frank Lloyd Wright
All I learned from Eliel Saarinen was how to make out an expense account
Frank Lloyd Wright
Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Consider everything in the nature of a hanging fixture a weakness, and naked radiators an abomination.
Frank Lloyd Wright
We should have a system of economics that is structure that is organic tools. We do not have it. We are all hanging by our eyebrows from skyhooks economically, just as we are architecturally.
Frank Lloyd Wright
If the paintings are too large, cut them in half!
Frank Lloyd Wright
Imitation is always insult--not flattery.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Imitate nothing except principle.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.
Frank Lloyd Wright
A building is not just a place to be but a way to be.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The truth is more important than the facts.
Frank Lloyd Wright
