Frank Lloyd Wright
Get the habit of analysis - analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind.
Frank Lloyd Wright
We boast the highest standard of living when it's only the biggest.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
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.
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

Frank Lloyd Wright
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.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The architect must be a prophet... a prophet in the true sense of the term... if he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Why should architecture or objects of art in the machine age, just because they are made by machines, have to resemble machinery?
Frank Lloyd Wright
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
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
It's easier to make changes with a pencil than a wrecking bar.
Frank Lloyd Wright
One war only breeds another.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I do not believe in adding enrichment merely for the sake of enrichment. Unless it adds clearness to the enunciation of the theme, it is undesirable, for it is very little understood.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral.
Frank Lloyd Wright
