The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Science can give us only the tools in the box, these mechanical miracles that it has already given us. But of what use to us are miraculous tools until we have mastered the humane, cultural use of them? We do not want to live in a world where the machine has mastered the man we want to live in a world where man has mastered the machine.
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

Many wealthy people are little more than janitors of their possessions.

You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledge hammer on the construction site.

Space. The continual becoming: invisible fountain from which all rhythms flow and to which they must pass. Beyond time or infinity
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
We do not learn so much by our successes as we learn by failures - our own and others! Especially if we see the failures properly corrected.
Frank Lloyd Wright

If you're going to have centralization, why not have it!
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.

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
