Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth.

San Francisco is the only city I can think of that can survive all the things you people are doing to it and still look beautiful.

The insolence of authority is endeavoring to substitute money for ideas.
Frank Lloyd Wright

Human beings can be beautiful. If they are not beautiful it is entirely their own fault. It is what they do to themselves that makes them ugly. The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it.

Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.
