More quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
To me, young has no meaning. It's something you can do nothing about, nothing at all. But youth is a quality. And if you have it, you never lose it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Toleration and liberty are the foundations of a great republic.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Well, now that he's finished one building, he'll go write four books about it.

Frank Lloyd Wright
Architecture is for the young. If our teenagers don't get architecture - if they are not inspired, (then) we won't have the architecture that we must have if this country is going to be beautiful.
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? They come away conditioned, not enlightened, and they know nothing of architecture, although they have a department somewhere around -- probably in the basement.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
Nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The measure of a man's culture is the measure of his appreciation. We are ourselves what we appreciate and no more.
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
