"Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities." ― Frank Lloyd Wright Topic(s): Life More From Frank Lloyd Wright "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." "An architect’s most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board, and a wrecking bar at the site." "The architect should strive continually to simplify; the ensemble of the rooms should then be carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty." More In Life "I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back."― Maya Angelou "The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life."― Theodore Roosevelt "Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another."― Ernest Hemingway
