Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own earth

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
The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.
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
Well, now that he's finished one building, he'll go write four books about it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
No house should ever be on any hill... It should be of the hill.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The truth is more important than the facts.
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
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
I'm against war. Always have been, always will be. And everything connected with it, is anathema to me. I have never considered it necessary.
Frank Lloyd Wright
