I didn’t look it up so I am relying on my poor memory. Seems to me it was said by Frank Lloyd Wright. His point was that the design should be that the function should be most important and the appearance would take care of itself. Seems a good idea to me.

So, a few days ago, I saw a guy getting in his big, huge pickup, which by the way looked very nice. I noticed the emblem on the side of the truck, something to the effect of certified for offroad. I complemented him on his truck and I duly noted the the offroad certification. He smile and said, “Yup.” I asked him if it was ever offroad. He said, “Nope. No, no.” Somehow I don’t think it will ever be either.
