Frank Lloyd Wright

A free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave man to the machine and make him like it. ”

New York City is a great monument to the power of money and greed... a race for rent. ”

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. ”
