By Oscar Wilde People often talk as if there was an opposition between what is beautiful and what is useful. There is no opposition to beauty except ugliness. All
things are either beautiful or ugly. Utility will always be on the side of the beautiful thing because beautiful decoration is always an expression of the
use you put a thing to and the value placed on it.
No workman will beautifully decorate bad work, nor can you possibly get good handicraftsmen or workmen without having beautiful designs. You
should be quite sure of that. If you have poor and worthless designs in any craft or trade, you will get poor and worthless workmen only. However,
the minute you have noble and beautiful designs, then you get men of power and intellect and feeling to work for you. By having good designs, you
will have workmen who work not merely with their hands but with their hearts and heads, too.
