More quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Television is bubble-gum for the mind.
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
I find that government can be a kind of gangsterism and is in Russia. And is likely to be in America if we don't take care of ourselves pretty carefully.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I'll bridge these hills with graceful arches
Frank Lloyd Wright
To know what to leave out and what to put in just where and just how, ah, that is to have been educated in knowledge of simplicity.
Frank Lloyd Wright
A vital difference between the professional man and a man of business is that money making to the professional man should, by virtue of his assumption, be incidental to the businessman it is primary. Money has its limitations while it may buy quantity, there is something beyond it and that is quality.
Frank Lloyd Wright
When anyone becomes an authority, that is the end of him as far as development is concerned.
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
Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own earth
Frank Lloyd Wright
The truth is more important than the facts.
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
If the paintings are too large, cut them in half!
Frank Lloyd Wright
Entering into the spirit of this interior, you will discover the best possible atmosphere in which to show fine paintings or listen to music. It is this atmosphere that seems to me most lacking in our art galleries, museums, music halls and theaters.
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
I believe totally in a Capitalist System, I only wish that someone would try it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart.
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
Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Get the habit of analysis - analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind.
Frank Lloyd Wright
