Quote examples
Philip Treacy
Irish Designer
I believe in originality, primarily. However, it's important to know what there has been before to aim in that direction. Art history informs us. It informs our mind. I like to look at books, exhibitions, paintings, as a computer, subconsciously taking on information.
Quote examples
Roger Scruton
English Philosopher

Quote examples
