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
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
The truth is more important than the facts.
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
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
Youth is not an age thing. It's a quality. Once you've had it, you never lose it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The sense of space within the reality of any building is a new concept wherever architecture is concerned. But it is essential ancient principle just the same and is not only necessary now but implied by the ideal of democracy itself.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I wouldnt mind seeing opera die. Ever since I was a boy, I regarded opera as a ponderous anachronism, almost the equivalent of smoking.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The insolence of authority is endeavoring to substitute money for ideas.
Frank Lloyd Wright
'Think in simples' as my old master used to say - meaning to reduce the whole to its parts in simplest terms, getting back to first principles.
Frank Lloyd Wright
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
I'm against war. Always have been, always will be. And everything connected with it, is anathema to me. I have never considered it necessary.
Frank Lloyd Wright
When anyone becomes an authority, that is the end of him as far as development is concerned.
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
True ornament is not a matter of prettifying externals. It is organic with the structure it adorns, whether a person, a building, or a park. At its best it is an emphasis of structure, a realization in graceful terms of the nature of that which is ornamented
Frank Lloyd Wright
A building is not just a place to be but a way to be.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Buildings, too, are children of Earth and Sun.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The measure of a man's culture is the measure of his appreciation. We are ourselves what we appreciate and no more.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The Lincoln Memorial is related to the toga and the civilization that wore it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
If the paintings are too large, cut them in half!
Frank Lloyd Wright
