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

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

Frank Lloyd Wright
We boast the highest standard of living when it's only the biggest.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
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
I think Miss Monroe as architecture is extremely good architecture, and she's a very natural actress, and a very good one.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Imitate nothing except principle.
Frank Lloyd Wright
As we live and as we are, Simplicity - with a capital S - is difficult to comprehend nowadays. We are no longer truly simple. We no longer live in simple terms or places. Life is a more complex struggle now. It is now valiant to be simple: a courageous thing to even want to be simple. It is a spiritual thing to comprehend what simplicity means
Frank Lloyd Wright
Dining is and always was a great artistic opportunity.
