Everything emotional in America becomes a mere show and make-believe. Americans are trained to invest money, are said to take even desperate chances on that, yet never do they invest [in] beauty nor take desperate chances on that. With money they try to buy beauty—after it has died—famishing—with grimace. Beauty is ever dead in America.


Quoted in Irene Gammel, Baroness Elsa: Gender, Dada and Everyday Modernity, p 251-252.
