“How full of charm and how fortunate is the form of being that you ladies have chosen. How beautiful and simple is the thesis that you were granted to reveal with your life. But with what mastery, with what finesse you discharge that task. If, casting aside respect for the Creator, I should wish to entertain myself with a critique of creation, I would cry out, ‘Less content, more form!’ Ah, how that diminution of content would relieve the world. More modesty in intentions, more restraint in pretensions, gentlemen demiurges, and the world would be more perfect!”
