Quote by Johann Kaspar Lavater

Neatness begets order; but from order to taste there is the same difference as from taste to genius, or from love to friendship.

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.

Who knew what evil lurked in the hearts of men? A copper, that's who. (...)You saw how close men lived to the beast. You realized that people like Carcer were not mad. They were incredibily sane. They were simply men without a shield. They'd looked at the world and realized that all the rules didn't have to apply to them, not if they didn't want them to. They weren't fooled by all the little stories. They shook hands with the beast.
