Inspirational quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright

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."
