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
A man is a fool if he drinks before he reaches the age of 50, and a fool if he doesn't afterward.

So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture: declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal.
Frank Lloyd Wright
