Be not afraid of being called un-fashionable.

~ Adolf Loos

It is ridiculous to lay down to people where a thing should stand, design everything for them from the lavatory pan to the ashtray. On the contrary, I like people to move their furniture so that it suits them (not me!), and it's quite natural (and I approve) when they bring the old pictures and mementos they have come to love into a new interior, irrespective of whether they are good taste or bad.

~ Adolf Loos

Be truthful, nature only sides with truth.

~ Adolf Loos
