Nikolai GogolAlways think of what is useful and not what is beautiful. Beauty will come of its own accord.
About This Quote
Often people worry about how something they are creating looks. They feel that they need to appeal to the senses to be successful. However, this is not correct. The most important thing is to be useful.
