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
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.

Frank Lloyd Wright
Less is more only when more is too much.
Frank Lloyd Wright
We create our buildings and then they create us. Likewise, we construct our circle of friends and our communities and then they construct us.
Frank Lloyd Wright
