Frank Lloyd Wright

The beauty of the natural world lies in the details.

In a civilization, men live together, and each has his own property; his own wife; his own children; his own home. In a commune, everything is shared.

The land is the only thing that amounts to anything.

I am going to live my life as I see fit.

The soul of the house is in the details.

Modern man lives increasingly in a man-made environment, but nature is all around him.

A building is not just a place for living but a living process.

The greatest of all is to be free.

Art is the beautiful way of doing things. The surface may be fine, but it must be honest.

One life - a little gleam of time between two eternities.

The machine is already the spiritual refuge of the savages.

To know what one ought to do is not enough.

The sense of space should be outraged by every sight.

Life is truth in action.

Nature is all that fills his employment and interests him.

The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created - created first in the imagination and will, created next in activity.

There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.

Space is the breath of art.

The good building is not a mere envelope, but a living organism.

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