Frank Lloyd Wright

The building should be a joy to behold.

The architect's work is to give form to the formless.

The building should be a refuge, a sanctuary.

The architect must be a visionary.

The building should be a symbol of man's aspiration.

The architect's work is to create beauty.

The building should be a living thing.

The architect must be a master of his craft.

The building should be a testament to man's ingenuity.

The architect's work is to serve humanity.

The building should be a source of inspiration.

The architect must be a man of courage.

The building should be a reflection of its time.

Truth is life. Beauty is truth. Love is beauty. Life is love.

The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his client to plant vines.

Form follows function—that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

I have been black and blue in some spot, somewhere, almost all my life. But I have never been bored.

An architect's life is a life of struggle, of disappointment, of hard work, of sacrifice, of joy, of triumph.

I believe in God, but I don't believe in the church.

The architect should be a man of vision, a man of courage, a man of faith.
