Quote

The scientist has marched in and taken the place of the poet. But one day somebody will find the solution to the problems of the world and remember, it will be a poet, not a scientist.

Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
The best thing to do is go as far out as you can get... what you regard as 'too far' - and when others follow, as they will, move on
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
Get the habit of analysis - analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
We do not learn so much by our successes as we learn by failures - our own and others! Especially if we see the failures properly corrected.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
A building is not just a place to be but a way to be.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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
Image
Many wealthy people are little more than janitors of their possessions.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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
Image
Imitate nothing except principle.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I find that government can be a kind of gangsterism and is in Russia. And is likely to be in America if we don't take care of ourselves pretty carefully.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
Imitation is always insult--not flattery.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
If you're going to have centralization, why not have it!
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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
Image
Architectural features of true democratic ground-freedom would rise naturally from topography, which means that buildings would all take on the nature and character of the ground on which in endless variety they would stand and be component part.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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
Image
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.

Why should architecture or objects of art in the machine age, just because they are made by machines, have to resemble machinery?
