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

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

Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright
We boast the highest standard of living when it's only the biggest.
Frank Lloyd Wright
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
Space. The continual becoming: invisible fountain from which all rhythms flow and to which they must pass. Beyond time or infinity
Frank Lloyd Wright
A building is not just a place to be but a way to be.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Our forefathers were not only brave. I believe they were right. I believe that what they meant was that every man born had equal right to grow from scratch by way of his own power unhindered to the highest expression of himself possible to him.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Taste is a matter of ignorance. If you know what you are tasting, you don't have to taste.
Frank Lloyd Wright
