More quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
The insolence of authority is endeavoring to substitute money for ideas.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral.
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
Nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see.
Frank Lloyd Wright
So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture: declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth. It is at least the geometric pattern of things, of life, of the human and social world. It is at best that magic framework of reality that we sometimes touch upon when we use the word order.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Harvard takes perfectly good plums as students, and turns them into prunes.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work.
Frank Lloyd Wright
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
To know what to leave out and what to put in just where and just how, ah, that is to have been educated in knowledge of simplicity.
Frank Lloyd Wright
It's easier to make changes with a pencil than a wrecking bar.
Frank Lloyd Wright
We boast the highest standard of living when it's only the biggest.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Architecture is for the young. If our teenagers don't get architecture - if they are not inspired, (then) we won't have the architecture that we must have if this country is going to be beautiful.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The thing always happens that you really believe in and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Money shows [man] new ways to cheat life. Power becomes exterior instead of interior. In these circumstances architecture becomes too difficult, building too easy.
Frank Lloyd Wright
All I learned from Eliel Saarinen was how to make out an expense account
Frank Lloyd Wright
More and more, so it seems to me, light is the beautifier of the building.
Frank Lloyd Wright
San Francisco is the only city I can think of that can survive all the things you people are doing to it and still look beautiful.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Entering into the spirit of this interior, you will discover the best possible atmosphere in which to show fine paintings or listen to music. It is this atmosphere that seems to me most lacking in our art galleries, museums, music halls and theaters.
Frank Lloyd Wright
