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
The thing always happens that you really believe in and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
Youth is not an age thing. It's a quality. Once you've had it, you never lose it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Consider everything in the nature of a hanging fixture a weakness, and naked radiators an abomination.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Television is bubble-gum for the mind.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity.
Frank Lloyd Wright
To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.
