So here I stand before you preaching organic architecture: declaring organic architecture to be the modern ideal.

For America today organic architecture interprets (will eventually build) this local embodiment of human freedom. This natural architecture seeks spaciousness, grace and openness; lightness and strength so completely balanced and logical that it is a new integrity.

To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.

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.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

Wood is universally beautiful to man. It is the most humanly intimate of all materials.

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet.
