More quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
Television is bubble-gum for the mind.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
The scientist has marched in and taken the place of the poet. But one day somebody will find the solution to the problems of the world and remember, it will be a poet, not a scientist.
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
Space. The continual becoming: invisible fountain from which all rhythms flow and to which they must pass. Beyond time or infinity
Frank Lloyd Wright
Democracy is the opposite of totalitarianism, communism, fascism, or mobocracy.
Frank Lloyd Wright
If the paintings are too large, cut them in half!
Frank Lloyd Wright
Taste is a matter of ignorance. If you know what you are tasting, you don't have to taste.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Youth is a quality, not a matter of circumstances.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I think Miss Monroe as architecture is extremely good architecture, and she's a very natural actress, and a very good one.
Frank Lloyd Wright
We boast the highest standard of living when it's only the biggest.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Consider everything in the nature of a hanging fixture a weakness, and naked radiators an abomination.
Frank Lloyd Wright
