“The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Taste is the fundamental quality which sums up all the other qualities. It is the nec plus ultra of the intelligence. Through this alone is genius the supreme health and balance of all the faculties.”
—Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautréamont (1846–1870)
“For there can be no whiter whiteness than this one:
An insurance man’s shirt on its morning run.”

Which at the first are scarce found to distaste,
But with a little act upon the blood
Burn like the mines of sulphur.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
