As quoted in New York World Telegram & Sun (21 August 1960); also in Threads: My Life Behind the Seams in the High-Stakes World of Fashion (2004) by Joseph Abboud, p. 79
“Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.”
“Thou art as wise as thou art beautiful”
“The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.”
“Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.”
“Love and art do not embrace what is beautiful but what is made beautiful by this embrace.”
