Youth is a quality, not a matter of circumstances.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture: declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The tall modern office building is the machine pure and simple...the engine, the motor and the battleship the works of the century.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
I never design a building before I've seen the site and met the people who will be using it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
We create our buildings and then they create us. Likewise, we construct our circle of friends and our communities and then they construct us.

Image
I prefer honest arrogance to hypocritical modesty.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.

The best thing to do is go as far out as you can get... what you regard as 'too far' - and when others follow, as they will, move on
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
A building should appear to grow easily from its site and be shaped to harmonize with its surroundings if Nature is manifest there.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
I know we can't have a great architecture while it is only for the landlord.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
When anyone becomes an authority, that is the end of him as far as development is concerned.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
Buildings, too, are children of Earth and Sun.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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.

The baby boomers are out there, they've had a lot of good years of earnings, they've inherited wealth. They are buying trophy homes and will be for years. We are one of those places people dream of. They come here to buy a piece of that dream.

A vital difference between the professional man and a man of business is that money making to the professional man should, by virtue of his assumption, be incidental to the businessman it is primary. Money has its limitations while it may buy quantity, there is something beyond it and that is quality.
