“Such is the garden of the heart: so oft neglected and despised when fallow.”

— Louis Sullivan, Kindergarten Chats, 1918

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.”

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”

“If music be the food of love, play on.”

“Love the little trade which thou hast learned, and be content therewith.”

“Not to display anger or other emotions. To be free of passion and yet full of love.”

“I call upon you, young men, to obey your heart, and be the nobility of this land.”

“Give all to love; obey thy heart.”
