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
Image
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
Image
Humanity to me is not a mob. A mob is a degeneration of humanity. A mob is humanity going the wrong way.

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
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.
