As my last set of quotes came from a cartoon character (Homer Simpson) or maybe his father, Matt Groenig, I’ve decided to counter-balance this emphasis on entertainment and popular culture with some thought-provoking quotes from one of the greatest American architects, Frank Lloyd Wright:
- "Less is only more where more is no good."
- "’Form follows function’ — that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union."
- "Get the habit of analysis – analysis will, in time, enable synthesis to become your habit of mind."
- "Mechanisation best serves mediocrity."
- "Freedom is from within."
- "An idea is salvation by imagination."
- "The truth is more important than the facts."
- "The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes."
- "Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities."
- "An expert is a man who has stopped thinking — he knows!"
- "The heart is the chief feature of a functioning mind."
- "There is nothing more uncommon than common sense."
- "I’m all in favour of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let’s start with typewriters."
