and I will willingly do without the necessities.
- Frank Lloyd Wright

Study nature, love nature,
stay close to nature. It will never fail you.

No stream rises higher than its source.
Whatever man might build, could never
express or reflect more than he was.
He could record neither more nor less
than he had learned of life.

and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

and it has often been said by philosophers,

And I prefer to say that nature
is the only body of God that we shall ever see.
- Frank Lloyd Wright

Regard it as just as desirable to build
a chicken house as to build a cathedral.
- Frank Lloyd Wright

A doctor can bury his mistakes
but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.

An architect's most useful tools are
an eraser at the drafting board,
and a wrecking bar at the site.

It should be of the hill. Belonging to it.

each the happier for the other.

analysis will in time enable synthesis
to become your habit of mind.

but the architect can only advise his client to plant vines -

to build their first buildings.

"Think simple" as my old master used to say -

into the simplest terms,
getting back to first principles.
- Frank Lloyd Wright

"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly,
"one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."

Freedom is not worth having if it
does not connote freedom to err.

Our loved ones -
whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -
are delicate treasures.
If we hold them too close, they break -
as a butterfly would.
By honoring and enjoying
the freedom of our loved ones,
we gain our own freedom.
Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Although I cannot move and I have to speak through a computer,
in my mind I am free.

to express itself in terms of freedom,
because freedom is the birthright of every living soul.

The freedom we are looking for
is the freedom to be ourselves,
to express ourselves. But if we look at our lives
we will see that most of the time
we do things just to please others ...
The worst part is that most of us
are not even aware that we are not free.
-Don Miguel Ruiz

To know what you prefer
instead of humbly saying Amen
to what the world tells you you ought to prefer,

Love allows your beloved the freedom to be unlike you.

Attachment tries to exclude everything but two people.
- Deepak Chopra in The Path to Love

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life
in which chance has placed us,

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make,
both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control
the process of choosing, you can take control
of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom
that comes from being in charge of yourself.
- Robert Foster Bennett

Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom,
no longer lend your strength to that
which you wish to be free from.
Fill your life with love and bravery,
and you shall live a life uncommon.

the strongest of us struggle in vain.
