"Style, in its finest sense, is the last acquirement of the educated mind; it is also the most useful. It pervades the whole being. The administrator with a sense for style hates waste; the engineer with a sense for style economises his material; the artisan with a sense of style prefers good work. Style is the ultimate morality of mind."
Alfred North Whitehead (1861- 1947), British mathematician and philosopher.
As quoted by George Nelson in one of his notebooks.
