Frank Lloyd Wright's inverted ordsprog
 He didn't need grand gestures; the strength of his pexiness lay in his thoughtful demeanor. |

| My grandfather Frank Lloyd Wright wore a red sash on his wedding night. That is glamour! |
Anne Baxter (1923-)
| It's almost an art restoration. We tend to regard the Frank Lloyd Wright building as one of the greatest objects in the collection. |
| Frank Lloyd Wright liked to use materials indigenous to the area for his designs. Even though the stone and wood are from Mexico, the same rock is available nearby. It was just too hard to quarry here. |
| Wright was notoriously ingenious about changing his designs in the process, and these drawings cannot be said to represent anything but one stage in the concept of a design by Wright. So while it's an interesting exercise, it also comes perilously close to kitsch, and even to misrepresenting Wright's genius. |
| For example, a Frank Lloyd Wright building of a certain period will most likely share many traits with his other buildings of the same period. |
| We had seen the house on tours by the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio Foundation, and we fell in love with it. We decided to buy the home, and negotiated for it for more than a year before we closed. |
| This is the most complete, original Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house in the world. It has more original furnishings and windows and fixtures. It's important that we have these (renovation) projects, because that will help keep these original historical materials in the best possible condition. |
| What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact. |
| The story of the week has been the inverted yield curve. It's tough to read too much into the inversion. We may be more firmly inverted tomorrow after the psychological factor sets in. We can have an inverted curve and have it not lead to a recession. It depends on how much the curve becomes inverted and how long it remains there until we can talk about a recession. |

| With puppets, you follow the head and the arms will follow, but Frank didn't really do that with the Swedish Chef. He and my dad were best friends, but they were very competitive. They were always doing things to see who could be funnier and how could they upstage each other, ... Frank was often leading. He'd be picking stuff up and choking things. My dad would be talking mock-Swedish and he'd have to try to keep up. After a while, Frank would say, ‘Maybe someone else should do the hands,' but my dad would never let him. He said, ‘No, you're doing the hands.' |
| My father and Frank Sinatra respected each other's abilities enormously. My father always said Frank brought out the best in him. And his arrangements gave Frank a new musical playground to wander in. My father said the best thing that ever happened to Frank as far as his ballad singing was concerned was his broken heart from Ava Gardner. Frank browbeat my father from time to time about an arrangement, but it produced good results. Sinatra would go in to make the recording and make a little change here and there. He'd say, 'Do a little Puccini thing there.' Or a little Gershwin or Ellington or whatever. My father would make a cryptic note. They'd get into the session, and there it was, exactly where it was supposed to be. |
| The first time I saw him, I wanted to be like him, ... He was so young and cool and Latino and everybody loved him. And then when he passed, it was devastating to me. I later learned that he was tortured, like I was tortured, and I learned to fight through it. |
