Frank Lloyd Wright

Freedom is from within.

The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope.

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

Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.

I have been black and blue in some spot, somewhere, almost all my life from too intimate contacts with my own furniture.

No stream rises higher than its source. What ever man might build could never express or reflect more than he was. He could record neither more nor less than he had learned of life when the buildings were built.

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.

Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.

Life always rides in strength to victory, not through internationalism... but only through the direct responsibility of the individual.

All fine architectural values are human values, else not valuable.

Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles.
