Frank Lloyd Wright

The building should be a conversation between the past, present, and future.

The human race built most nobly when limitations were greatest. Modern architects are as free as birds. But they don't know where to fly.

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

The reality of the building is not the walls and roof but the space within to be lived in.

What is needed in architecture today is the conscious creative spirit of a master builder.

The ideal of every civilization is the home.

The architect should be a man of vision, a man of courage, a man of integrity, and a man of imagination.

The building is a part of the landscape, and the landscape is a part of the building.

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 God's own way.

The machine is the architect of the new civilization.

I've been accused of being a genius. I'm not a genius. I'm just a hard worker.

The architect is the master of space, the poet of form, the interpreter of life.

Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art.

The architect should be a man of culture, a man of taste, a man of refinement.

The building is a living thing, a part of the earth, a part of the sky.

The building should be an expression of the life within it.

The architect is the interpreter of nature, the creator of beauty, the servant of man.

The building should be a friend to man, a comfort to his soul, a joy to his eye.

The architect is the philosopher of form, the poet of space, the musician of light.

The building should be a symbol of man's aspirations, a monument to his achievements, a testament to his spirit.
