I don't know, but it reminds me of a favorite quotation: "the good thing about bad taste is that you don't know you have it."

You can also find this quote in the book: The art of looking sideways by Alan Fletcher

Nice, Cheshire.

I pulled that Glaser quote out a number of years back from research while I was writing my BFA thesis. I'll dig it up and see if I can find the reference.

How about Stefan Sagmeister's quote:

"Style equals fart."
