More quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
Democracy is the opposite of totalitarianism, communism, fascism, or mobocracy.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Architecture is for the young. If our teenagers don't get architecture - if they are not inspired, (then) we won't have the architecture that we must have if this country is going to be beautiful.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Architectural features of true democratic ground-freedom would rise naturally from topography, which means that buildings would all take on the nature and character of the ground on which in endless variety they would stand and be component part.
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
The truth is more important than the facts.
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
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.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope.
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
From time to time the continent shifts, and everything that isn't fastened down slides into Southern California.
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
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
Less is more only when more is too much.
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
True ornament is not a matter of prettifying externals. It is organic with the structure it adorns, whether a person, a building, or a park. At its best it is an emphasis of structure, a realization in graceful terms of the nature of that which is ornamented
Frank Lloyd Wright
Humanity to me is not a mob. A mob is a degeneration of humanity. A mob is humanity going the wrong way.
Frank Lloyd Wright
New York City is a great monument to the power of money and greed... a race for rent.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Well, now that he's finished one building, he'll go write four books about it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The insolence of authority is endeavoring to substitute money for ideas.
Frank Lloyd Wright
One war only breeds another.
