"Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new" — Henry David Thoreau

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months

I seldom go into a natural history museum without feeling as if I were attending a funeral

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse

When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.

Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.

A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents

Henry David Thoreau Quote
