About Louis Sullivan

1856 – 1924

American architect, known as the "father of skyscrapers".

“To teach is to touch the heart and impel it to action.”

“Yet evidently the true object of education, now as ever, is to develop the capabilities of the head and of the heart.”

“We must now heed the imperative voice of emotion.”

“Let whatever appears to be the best be to you an inviolable law.”

“Lord, what fools these mortals be!”

“All that glisters is not gold.”

“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.”

“And one man in his time plays many parts.”

“Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.”
