Frank Lloyd Wright On Simplicity

     “In architecture, expressive changes of surface, emphasis of line and especially textures of material or imaginative pattern, may go to make facts more eloquent-forms more significant.  Elimination, therefore, may be just as meaningless as elaboration, perhaps more often is so.  To know what to leave out and what to put in; just where and just how, ah that is to have been educated in knowledge of simplicity-toward ultimate freedom of expression.”

pg 168-69, “An Autobiography” Frank Lloyd Wright
