“The world is not yet clothed in garments which befit it; in architecture, furniture, clothes, we are still wearing things which have no relation to the spirit which moves our life…. The majority still think Gothic architecture to be appropriate to churches, tho’ Gothic architecture is simply a method of building appropriate to stone and is not really more Christian than Hindu. We still make tables and chairs, even when we make them by machinery, with the same ornamental turnings & cornices & so forth as when furniture-making was the job of a responsible handicraftsman.” — An Essay on Typography, p. 6.  - Eric Gill (via Garçon Grotesque)
