Dandies, when first-rate, are generally very agreeable men. - Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton A dandy is a clothes-wearing man--a man whose trade, office, and existence consist in the wearing of clothes. Every faculty of his soul, spirit, person and purse is heroically consecrated to this one object--the wearing of clothes, wisely and well; so that, as others dress to live, he lives to dress. - Thomas Carlyle Dandyism is refined vulgarity. - Charles Frederic Goss Dandyism is a species of genius. - William Hazlitt (1) All finery is a sign of littleness. - Johann Kaspar Lavater (John Caspar Lavater) A fool may have his coat embroidered with gold, but it is a fool's coat still. - Antoine de Rivarol, Comte de Rivarol Oh! save me, ye powers, from these pinks of the nation, These tea-table heroes! these lords of creation. - Salmagundi Clothes form the intellect of the dandy. - Henry Wheeler Shaw (used pseudonyms Josh Billings and Uncle Esek)
