This is from the Mike Wallace Interview 9/28/1957. It is a straight-through clip that starts somewhere in the middle of the interview. The whole interview, plus the 9/1/1957 interview, can be viewed at: http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/multimedia/video/2008/wallace/wright_frank_lloyd.html

"The compulsory machinery of public education plus the real-estate "developer" (and we have now government housing not to mention the public "service" corporation) all contributed to the degradation of the beauty America promised. Add a vast and growing bureaucracy to this, and the natural result of machine politics was the man more and more a machine. Our biggest machine became not the corporations of big industry, but incorporated government, and biggest of all, the machinery of education." -FLW

"Our natures are now so warped in many directions, we are so conditioned by education, we have no longer any straight, true, clean reactions that we can trust; and we have to be pretty wise and careful what it is we give up to, what is is we admire, what it is we're inspired by...I dare say that all these things may be good so far as they go because they are necessary; but I wouldn't say that they're what should be; I wouldn't say that they're ideal."

  • Mike Wallace is such a child.

  • Oooo shit he said inferiority complex. What a man!!!!!!!

  • @bbbbmer You apparently have acquired all your 'truths" about Wright from one book. And you have the audacity to call someone else a moron? Actually, it is YOU who is the typical YouTube lowlife: ignorant and proud of it!

  • @frankho99 lucky

  • way ahead of his own people this man is

  • @frankho99 Really?

  • He nailed it. "We have to go on to school to learn about ourselves, We have to go on to school to learn about the nature of things. And until nature study is the the basis of our education, will we be in danger of all of the [isms] that one could make."

  • Frank Lloyd Wright was a G, he was cool he had swag for a white guy.

    Anyway watch my video popsicle master piece.

    Model architecture at its finest.

  • he slept at my house...i win!!
