12 Frank Lloyd Wright Quotes to Celebrate His Birthday
If there's one thing that can be said about Frank Lloyd
Wright quotes, it's that they remind us that Mr. Wright
wasn't just one of the most famous architects in history --
he was also a truly remarkable character. This month we
celebrate his birthday. Let's honor him now with these 12
memorable Frank Lloyd Wright quotes.
1. "All fine architectural values are human values, else
not valuable."
2. "Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance
and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen
no reason to change."
3. "I find it hard to believe that the machine would go
into the creative artist's hand even were that magic hand
in true place. It has been too far exploited by
industrialism and science at expense to art and true
religion."
4. "Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a
result of better architecture. Eventually, I think Chicago
will be the most beautiful great city left in the world."
5. "I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and
an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see
happen."
6. "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."
7. "The architect must be a prophet... a prophet in the
true sense of the term... if he can't see at least ten
years ahead, don't call him an architect."
8. "Toleration and liberty are the foundations of a great
republic."
9. "Form follows function- that has been misunderstood.
Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual
union."
10. "If you foolishly ignore beauty, you'll soon find
yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if
you wisely invest in beauty, it will remain with you all
the days of your life."
11. "A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can
only advise his clients to plant vines."
12. "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."
Frank Lloyd Wright was a master of his craft and a leader
of his time. What set him apart from other architects? In
addition to his indisputable talent, I'd have to say his
views on life and his ideals also played an important role.
Let these 12 Frank Lloyd Wright quotes shed light on who he
was, how he thought and what he gave to fellow man.
