Science can give us only the tools in the box, these mechanical miracles that it has already given us. But of what use to us are miraculous tools until we have mastered the humane, cultural use of them? We do not want to live in a world where the machine has mastered the man we want to live in a world where man has mastered the machine.

Bureaucrats: they are dead at 30 and buried at 60. They are like custard pies you can't nail them to a wall.

Youth is not an age thing. It's a quality. Once you've had it, you never lose it.
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

When anyone becomes an authority, that is the end of him as far as development is concerned.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture: declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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

The truth is more important than the facts.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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.

If it sells, it's art.

Nature is the inspiration for all ornamentation

Space. The continual becoming: invisible fountain from which all rhythms flow and to which they must pass. Beyond time or infinity

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.
