Summary

This quote suggests that while neatness and order contribute to discipline and structure, they are only the initial steps towards developing a sense of taste. Just as the leap from taste to genius or from love to friendship is significant, the transition from order to taste requires a deeper understanding and appreciation of aesthetics and refinement. Neatness establishes the foundation, but true taste and sophistication require a more profound level of understanding and creativity.
