- Summary:
- Pfeiffer, director of the Frank Lloyd Wright archives, collects short quotes from Wright's books, articles, and lectures in this petite (4.5x6") gift book. Most are from the 1950s and were delivered at Wright's informal Sunday morning talks and so are generally unpublished. The categories into which they fall are even broader than the subtitle of the book would suggest, including subjects like the soul and faith, culture and values, and government.
