More quotes by 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
The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
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
It's easier to make changes with a pencil than a wrecking bar.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
If you're going to have centralization, why not have it!
Frank Lloyd Wright
Youth is a circumstance you can't do anything about. The trick is to grow up without getting old.
Frank Lloyd Wright
To me, young has no meaning. It's something you can do nothing about, nothing at all. But youth is a quality. And if you have it, you never lose it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Architecture isman'sgreat sense of himself embodied in a world of his own making. It may rise as high in quality only as its source because great art isgreat life.

Frank Lloyd Wright
We boast the highest standard of living when it's only the biggest.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The insolence of authority is endeavoring to substitute money for ideas.
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
I find it hard to believe that the machine would go into the creative artist's hand even were that magic hand in true place. It has been too far exploited by industrialism and science at expense to art and true religion.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I voted for Stevenson as opposed to Eisenhower because I thought he would make a good president, but against my conscience because I thought that he was too good for the job.
Frank Lloyd Wright
From time to time the continent shifts, and everything that isn't fastened down slides into Southern California.
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
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
A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart.
Frank Lloyd Wright
