Style lasts forever and taste doesn't.

The greatest style is when you can't see the style though you walk away knowing it was there. It's like a perfume - there but not there.

Style tells you a lot more about the truth than substance, because it comes at the truth in an oblique way, it comes in on a slant, it doesn't tell you what it is. It's unexpected and it makes you laugh and think.
