More quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
The architect must be a prophet... a prophet in the true sense of the term... if he can't see at least ten years ahead don't call him an architect.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Building becomes architecture only when the mind of man consciously takes it and tries with all his resources to make it beautiful, to put concordance, sympathy with nature, and all that into it. Then you have architecture.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Is there anything more anti-American than McCarthyism?
Frank Lloyd Wright
Harvard takes perfectly good plums as students, and turns them into prunes.
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
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
Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The thing always happens that you really believe in and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I prefer honest arrogance to hypocritical modesty.
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
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
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
Space. The continual becoming: invisible fountain from which all rhythms flow and to which they must pass. Beyond time or infinity
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 physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.
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
I know we can't have a great architecture while it is only for the landlord.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Consider everything in the nature of a hanging fixture a weakness, and naked radiators an abomination.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The tall modern office building is the machine pure and simple...the engine, the motor and the battleship the works of the century.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I do not believe in adding enrichment merely for the sake of enrichment. Unless it adds clearness to the enunciation of the theme, it is undesirable, for it is very little understood.
Frank Lloyd Wright
