I wonder, only in passing, whether the indelible ornamentation that man inscribes upon his own epidermis does not respond to a nostalgia for the universal internally generated coloring of corrollas, furs, shells, carapaces and wings. For man it has been necessary to create both works and tools outside of himself. But it may be that he retains an obscure nostalgia to create them on his own body, to make them a part of it rather than projecting them outwards onto an independent surface, where he is free to retouch them as he sees fit, which is precisely what painting and art are Picture Quote #1

If one has a good disposition, what other virtue is needed? If a man has fame, what is the value of other ornamentation? Picture Quote #1

In a very simple sense I want everything that’s in a work to be there for the reason that it’s needed. It’s not an ornamentation. It’s not there because I thought it looked nice but because it has to be there Picture Quote #1

When I behold the passion for ornamentation, and the corresponding power, I feel as if women had so far shown what they are bad for, rather than what they are good for Picture Quote #1

We want to create the purely organic building, boldly emanating its inner laws, free of untruths or ornamentation Picture Quote #1

Science offends the modesty of all real women. It makes them feel as though it were an attempt to peek under their skin--or, worseyet, under their dress and ornamentation! Picture Quote #1
