“I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it.”
“Luxury lies not in the richness of things, but in the absence of vulgarity”
“Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.”
“I love vulgarity, good taste is death, vulgarity is life”
“How sad is it when a luxurious imagination is obliged in self defense to deaden its delicacy in vulgarity, and riot in things attainable that it may not have leisure to go mad after things which are not.”
“Morals are a luxury of the rich.”
