Patricia Highsmith Teach us that wealth is not elegance, that profusion is not magnificence, that splendor is not beauty. Benjamin Disraeli The elegance and the quality - the talent is always in the literature. I start with the word and I base everything on that. It doesn't make any difference to me. Kate Mulgrew The elegance of honesty needs no adornment. Merry Browne The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really comes from it. Diana Vreeland The only thing I was trying to portray was serenity. Also, innocence, vulnerability and elegance. Sylvia Kristel The traditional mathematician recognizes and appreciates mathematical elegance when he sees it. I propose to go one step further, and to consider elegance an essential ingredient of mathematics: if it is clumsy, it is not mathematics. Edsger Dijkstra The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different, and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about. Clifford Geertz To achieve harmony in bad taste is the height of elegance. Jean Genet We must never confuse elegance with snobbery. Yves Saint Laurent What is elegance? Soap and water! Cecil Beaton What is it indeed that gives us the feeling of elegance in a solution, in a demonstration? Henri Poincare Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage, if that's what it is, that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. Edsger Dijkstra |
