Fashion

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

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new

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

Fashions have done more harm than revolutions

Great men are seldom over-scrupulous in the arrangement of their attire.

There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady's head-dress

The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come

Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable

Grief that is dazed and speechless is out of fashion: the modern woman mourns her husband loudly and tells you the whole story of his death, which distresses her so much that she forgets not the slightest detail about it

Natural amiableness is too often seen in company with sloth, uselessness, with the vanity of fashionable life

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

The automobile changed our dress, manners, social customs, vacation habits, the shape of our cities, consumer purchasing patterns, common tastes and positions in intercourse

A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.

The beggar is the only person in the universe not obliged to study appearance.

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