This is a condensed version of an interview that can be found at www.myfamilymemoirs.com. The video was split into several segments and rearranged to shorten what was originally 14 minutes.
"Mediocrity is always dishonest. You may not think that is a true statement, but let's go it the other way around and say dishonesty is always mediocre."-FLW
"Why have we denied and gone against every fundamental principle that we found our forefathers-or would have found if we studied it-declared as freedom? I can't understand it, unless it is that all our standards are so mixed, like our blood, that we have lost sight of anything straightforward, clean, true, and original."-FLW

Mr. Wright understood and he wished us to understand what freedom really is and why it is...and what we owe to nature and we'll never manufacture it, but live within it as part of it. My mentor and inspiration and why I chose to be an Architect. " The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of live is to give it away"...Picasso

He embraced nature and spirituality in his work. Say what you want about him, but he was no hypocrite. Had I been older (I was 4 when he died) I would have been a member of the Taliesin Fellowship. In spite of his faults, he was a remarkable genius.

"form follows function" was said by another genius, incidentally responsible for the skyscraper, Louis Sullivan. It was Frank who made the effort to clear the misconstrusion of Sullivans quote and said "form and function are one". You see, the masses misinterpreted, dubiously, that "form follow function" meant that function is strictly the bare neccessities as the Bauhaus movement advocated: that a box is proper as a room, thereby claiming architectural luxury and voluptuousness is improper.

He and his wife were students of George Gurdjieff, a very unusual spiritual teacher at the turn of the century. One of the most amazing people on the face of the earth. Mr Lloyd Write was a bit of an egoist but Gurdjieff met that head on at times.

Lakhana Thank you for your comment - I’ve found so many Pioneers who are the “good type of egotists”. The Pioneer archetype must stay centric to their vision . And the world is a better place for Wrights Vision and his adamant, stubborn insistence on his vision remaining pure as it took form through his art.

@ovistrucido His birthdate is a matter of some confusion. It is either 1867 or 1869. Most go with the former.

The condensed version of the above interview is woefully incomplete. Nothing there regarding his comments on nature and philosophy, such as the statements that a philosophy is deduced from nature, and that every great artist who ever lived is a philosopher. He also stated that "The real body of the universe is spiritual," which may have rubbed deists or theists the wrong way, but to leave those things out of a summary of his interview, especially one that talks about dishonesty, is far from honest.

Listen to 4:05, and maybe the entire interview. This compilation hits some of the key points that you claim it is missing.

+snowclones The "claim" that things are missing was made by the person who submitted this version of the interview. Go to the original at www.myfamilymemoirs.com and you'll see that this compilation leaves out some of what I believe were Wright's most important thoughts, and then tell me why you think they're not important.

+Roy Niles Thanks for the link, but I've already seen it. I was just showing you that the condensed version quoted verbatim what you said it was missing. Sorry for starting an argument.

+snowclones What the 14 minute version has is much more detail about the whys and where's of what for some reason the submitter, Taleison, neglected to summarize.. So when I said "summary" I meant the written one where the person, apparently Taleison, that submitted the condensed version quoted only the more innocuous parts such as "Mediocrity is always dishonest," etc. And so, admittedly somewhat awkwardly, I wanted the reader to be sure and look at the actual video rather than just at the written comments. And to hopefully look at the full version as well.

It's odd that Wright was so anti 'organized' education, because without those educational institutions so many of us would never have even heard of him or his work
