— Truth Against the World: Frank Lloyd Wright Speaks for an Organic Architecture
Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect, designer, writer and educator who designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. He played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide and mentoring hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship.
He believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. Its best-known example is Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." He was a pioneer of the Prairie School movement and developed the concept of the Usonian home within Broadacre City, his vision for urban planning in the United States. He also designed offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels and museums.

Early in my career...I had to choose between an honest arrogance and a hypercritical humility... I deliberately choose an honest arrogance, and I've never been sorry.
Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose honest arrogance and have seen no occasion to change.
Pictures deface walls oftener than they decorate them.
No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.
