Frank Lloyd Wright

The client is always right, until he's wrong.

I intend to be the greatest architect of all time.

The only thing that's wrong with the world is that we're not using our heads.

The ideal client is one who comes to you and says, 'I want a house, and I want you to build it for me, and I don't want to see it until it's finished.'

Youth is a quality, not a matter of circumstances.

Buildings are like people. They have a soul, a spirit, a character.

The architect is the master of space, the master of light, the master of form, the master of material.

The world is full of beautiful things, if you only know where to look.

Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men to put man into possession of his own Earth. It is at least the geometrical shadow of humanity itself.

If it keeps on raining, the roof will fall in. And I'll have to move my desk.

Architecture is the great living creative spirit which from generation to generation, from age to age, proceeds, persists, creates, according to the nature of man, and his circumstances as they change. That is architecture.

A building is not just a place to be, but a way to be.

The reality of the building consists of the space within it to be lived in.

No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill, belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.

Truth is more important than the facts.

A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched, sensitive, and comprehensive heart.

The building is a living thing, a growing thing, a thing that breathes.

The heart of the matter is that the human spirit is not a thing to be measured, but a thing to be experienced.

The architect's role is to interpret the client's needs and desires, and to translate them into a form that is both beautiful and functional.

The ultimate goal of architecture is to create a sense of place, a feeling of belonging.
