I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing; my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes. ~Gary Kemp

The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle
