“The leg of a chair had to be well made. It was natural, it was intended. It did not need to be well made for the money, or the quality proportional to what they earn. It did not need to be well made for the master, neither for the experts nor for the master’s clients. It had to be well made for no other reason other than for itself, for its very nature.”
Charles Pèguy – L’argent – 1914
