More quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
You have to go wholeheartedly into anything in order to achieve anything worth having.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The scientist has marched in and taken the place of the poet. But one day somebody will find the solution to the problems of the world and remember, it will be a poet, not a scientist.
Frank Lloyd Wright
True ornament is not a matter of prettifying externals. It is organic with the structure it adorns, whether a person, a building, or a park. At its best it is an emphasis of structure, a realization in graceful terms of the nature of that which is ornamented
Frank Lloyd Wright
Many wealthy people are little more than janitors of their possessions.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
More and more, so it seems to me, light is the beautifier of the building.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Consider everything in the nature of a hanging fixture a weakness, and naked radiators an abomination.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
If the paintings are too large, cut them in half!
Frank Lloyd Wright
I do not believe in adding enrichment merely for the sake of enrichment. Unless it adds clearness to the enunciation of the theme, it is undesirable, for it is very little understood.
Frank Lloyd Wright
We do not learn so much by our successes as we learn by failures - our own and others! Especially if we see the failures properly corrected.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Building becomes architecture only when the mind of man consciously takes it and tries with all his resources to make it beautiful, to put concordance, sympathy with nature, and all that into it. Then you have architecture.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Youth is a circumstance you can't do anything about. The trick is to grow up without getting old.
Frank Lloyd Wright
As we live and as we are, Simplicity - with a capital S - is difficult to comprehend nowadays. We are no longer truly simple. We no longer live in simple terms or places. Life is a more complex struggle now. It is now valiant to be simple: a courageous thing to even want to be simple. It is a spiritual thing to comprehend what simplicity means
Frank Lloyd Wright
The insolence of authority is endeavoring to substitute money for ideas.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Nature is the inspiration for all ornamentation
