Text in black on brown paper: Qua / lity: / The concept of quality is very difficult to define, for it is not / merely seen, but somehow intuited in the presence of the work in / which it is embodied. Quality has little to do with popular / notions of beauty, taste, or style; and nothing to do with status, / respectability, or luxury. It is revealed, rather, in an atmosphere of receptivity, propriety, and restraint. /
Quality is concerned with the weighing of relationships; the / discovery of analogies and contrasts; with proportion and harmony; / the juxtaposition of formal and functional elements—with / their transformation and enrichment. /
Quality is concerned with truth, not deception; with ideas, not / techniques; with the enduring, not the ephemeral; with precision, / not fussiness; with simplicity, not vacuity; with subtlety, not / blatancy; with sensitivity, not sentimentality. /
