Excerpts from Frank Lloyd Wright Remembered "No one understands the third dimension as well as he, the capacity of architecture to be an experience in depth, rather than a mere facade." --Philip Johnson, FAIA "In public, he had a histrionic sense. When he got on the stage, he really enjoyed tremendously playing a part, and he enjoyed tremendously shocking people....But when you were alone with [him], in his own chambers, he became not only modest but really a very humble child.

Excerpts from Frank Lloyd Wright Remembered "No one understands the third dimension as well as he, the capacity of architecture to be an experience in depth, rather than a mere facade." --Philip Johnson, FAIA "In public, he had a histrionic sense. When he got on the stage, he really enjoyed tremendously playing a part, and he enjoyed tremendously shocking people....But when you were alone with [him], in his own chambers, he became not only modest but really a very humble child. He was a very beautiful human being as I knew him." --R. Buckminster Fuller ..".my friends [told me] I was a little giddy to think about approaching the great, expensive, and imperious Frank Lloyd Wright....I decided that no matter how busy or important, the master would listen to someone who wanted one of his works so much.

It is very likely that no normally sensitive ego would have been unmoved by such a panegyric." --Loren B. Pope ..".deep down he was a modest man. Just look at his home at Taliesin. Instead of cutting down a tree, he built around it. He had a sensitive feeling to the creations of God. How could such a person be conceited?" --Egon Weiner "He was incredible. To describe him in any kind of conventional language seems an impossibility. Whatever he did, he did well--he was an avid reader, a wonderful speaker, a marvelous skater." --Olgivanna Lloyd Wright
