It's easier to make changes with a pencil than a wrecking bar.

No stream rises higher than its source

On this simple unit-system [of building blocks] ruled on the low table-top all these forms were combined by the child into imaginative patter. Design was recreation! ...The virtue of all this lay in the awakening of the childmind to rhythmic structure in Nature - giving the child a sense of innate cause-and-effect otherwise far beyond child-comprehension.

Frank Wright 274 quotes

When we come to understand architecture as the essential nature of all harmonious structure we will see that it is the architecture of music that inspired Bach and Beethoven, the architecture of painting that is inspiring Picasso as it inspired Velasquez, that it is the architecture of life itself that is the inspiration of the great poets and philosophers.

I do not believe in adding enrichment merely for the sake of enrichment. Unless it adds clearness to the enunciation of the theme, it is undesirable, for it is very little understood.

San Francisco is the only city I can think of that can survive all the things you people are doing to it and still look beautiful.

I wouldnt mind seeing opera die. Ever since I was a boy, I regarded opera as a ponderous anachronism, almost the equivalent of smoking.

From time to time the continent shifts, and everything that isn't fastened down slides into Southern California.

Frank Wright 274 quotes

At night... the streets become...

At night... the streets become rhythmical perspectives of glowing dotted lines, reflections hung upon them in the streets as the wistaria hangs its violet racemes on its trellis. The buildings are shimmering verticality, a gossamer veil, a festive scene-prop hanging there against the black sky to dazzle, entertain, amaze.

Bring out the nature of the materials. Let their nature intimately into your scheme.

Frank Wright 274 quotes

Each material has its own mess...

Each material has its own message.

Wood is universally beautiful to man. It is the most humanly intimate of all materials.

We boast the highest standard of living when it's only the biggest.

Architecture is essentially Human; it is the Human spirit manifesting itself. For when a Man builds, there, you've got him; you know exactly what, who and how that Man is.

Frank Wright 274 quotes

Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own earth

Frank Wright 274 quotes

We have no longer an outside and an inside as two separate things. Now the outside may come inside and the inside may and does go outside. They are of each other. Form and function thus become one in design and execution if the nature of materials and method and purpose are all in unison.

I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work.
