Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright

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

Frank Lloyd Wright
Humanity to me is not a mob. A mob is a degeneration of humanity. A mob is humanity going the wrong way.
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
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
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
From time to time the continent shifts, and everything that isn't fastened down slides into Southern California.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Many wealthy people are little more than janitors of their possessions.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Consider everything in the nature of a hanging fixture a weakness, and naked radiators an abomination.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Imitate nothing except principle.
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
