An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON FUNCTION
Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function, appropriate form must exist or be created.
Ida P. Rolf (1896-1979, American biochemist, physical therapist)
Utility is the great idol of the age, to which all powers must do service and all talents swear allegiance.
Johann Friedrich Von Schiller (1759-1805, German dramatist, poet, historian)
Use harms and even destroys beauty. The noblest function of an object is to be contemplated.
Miguel De Unamuno (1864-1936, Spanish philosophical writer)
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.
Oscar Wilde (1856-1900, British author, wit)
