Buildings, too, are children of Earth and Sun.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Youth is not an age thing. It's a quality. Once you've had it, you never lose it.
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
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
Imitate nothing except principle.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.
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
Imitation is always insult--not flattery.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
Our forefathers were not only brave. I believe they were right. I believe that what they meant was that every man born had equal right to grow from scratch by way of his own power unhindered to the highest expression of himself possible to him.
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
We should have a system of economics that is structure that is organic tools. We do not have it. We are all hanging by our eyebrows from skyhooks economically, just as we are architecturally.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Individuality realized is the supreme attainment of the human soul, the master-master's work of art. Individuality is sacred.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
Frank Lloyd Wright
No house should ever be on any hill... It should be of the hill.
Frank Lloyd Wright
To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Well, now that he's finished one building, he'll go write four books about it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Nature is the inspiration for all ornamentation
Frank Lloyd Wright
From time to time the continent shifts, and everything that isn't fastened down slides into Southern California.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Respect the masterpiece. It is true reverence to man. There is no quality so great, none so much needed now.
Frank Lloyd Wright
