Taliesin, Wisconsin, 1959
"Every great architect is — necessarily — a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age."
"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you."
Taliesin, Wisconsin, 1947

"I like Houston. It's the last great 19th-century city. Houston has a spirit about it that is truly American, an optimism. People there aren't afraid to try something new."
