“A designer who is not also a couturier, who hasn’t learned the most refined mysteries of physically creating his models, is like a sculptor who gives his drawings to another man, an artisan, to accomplish. For him the truncated process of creating will always be an interrupted act of love, and his style will bear the shame of it, the impoverishment.”
—Yves Saint Laurent (b. 1936)
“Music my rampart, and my only one.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“The people of the United States have been fortunate in many things.

—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
