beautiful thinking artist
Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
beautiful art discovery
Art is a discovery and development of elementary principles of nature into beautiful forms suitable for human use.
arrogance honest modesty
I prefer honest arrogance to hypocritical modesty.
simplicity educated has-beens
To know what to leave out and what to put in; just where and just how, ah, that is to have been educated in knowledge of simplicity.
government architecture results
Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture.
teaching past simple
So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture: declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal and the teaching so much needed if we are to see the whole of life, and to now serve the whole of life, holding no traditions essential to the great TRADITION. Nor cherishing any preconceived form fixing upon us either past, present or future, but-instead-exalting the simple laws of common sense-or of super-sense if you prefer-determining form by way of the nature of materials...
opportunity dining artistic
Dining is and always was a great artistic opportunity.
too-much less-is-more
Less is more only when more is too much.
principles building architect
I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
quality youth young
To me, young has no meaning. It's something you can do nothing about, nothing at all. But youth is a quality. And if you have it, you never lose it.
greatness quality building
It is a terrific thing to get a building built that has the qualities of greatness in it.
beautiful thinking cities
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.
love song heart
The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears - as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk-happy.
humility disease architecture
I feel coming on a strange disease - humility.
