More quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
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.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Dining is and always was a great artistic opportunity.
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
When anyone becomes an authority, that is the end of him as far as development is concerned.
Frank Lloyd Wright
To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Money shows [man] new ways to cheat life. Power becomes exterior instead of interior. In these circumstances architecture becomes too difficult, building too easy.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The thing always happens that you really believe in and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral.
Frank Lloyd Wright
A building should appear to grow easily from its site and be shaped to harmonize with its surroundings if Nature is manifest there.
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.
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
Individuality realized is the supreme attainment of the human soul, the master-master's work of art. Individuality is sacred.
Frank Lloyd Wright
To me, young has no meaning. It's something you can do nothing about, nothing at all. But youth is a quality. And if you have it, you never lose it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Get the habit of analysis - analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind.
Frank Lloyd Wright
All the more I study Nature do I revere God, because Nature is all the body of God we will ever know.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Why should architecture or objects of art in the machine age, just because they are made by machines, have to resemble machinery?
Frank Lloyd Wright
The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope.
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
I wouldnt mind seeing opera die. Ever since I was a boy, I regarded opera as a ponderous anachronism, almost the equivalent of smoking.

If you're going to have centralization, why not have it!
