I think it's an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable.

Fashion is not frivolous. It is a part of being alive today.

It is a common observation, that the more solicitous any people are about dress, the more effeminate they are.

I'm against fashionable thinking.

At any given moment, public opinion is a chaos of superstition, misinformation and prejudice.

The delicate balance between modesty and conceit is popularity.

Nothing so obstinately stands in the way of all sorts of progress as pride of opinion. While nothing is so foolish and baseless.

Increasingly, to dismiss any popular artistic style is seen as the worst kind of snobbery. And snobbery, it goes without saying, is unacceptable in a diverse and democratic world.
