Frank Lloyd Wright

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
Science can give us only the tools in the box, these mechanical miracles that it has already given us.

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.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Youth is a circumstance you can't do anything about. The trick is to grow up without getting old.
Frank Lloyd Wright
An idea is salvation by imagination.
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
We do not learn so much by our successes as we learn by failures - our own and others! Especially if we see the failures properly corrected.
