Appearance Quote by Stephen Bayley

“I just don't understand how you can not be concerned about your appearance. From time to time I'm vilified as the person who cares about the look of a teapot - and it's not that I believe my taste is superior , I just can not believe that other people don't care.” quote by Stephen Bayley
