Aesthetics of Uniformity:
“There is that sameness that makes twins, or even brothers and sisters of different ages, oft times indistinguishable to strangers; that makes whole races indistinguishable to the members of another race, yet which, with familiarity, becomes suddenly inconceivable of existence. That kind of sameness embodying character and harmony through repetition is not unhappy. There is the even greater sameness of a flotilla of destroyers, far more accurate in duplication than the human, with inspiring rhythm of appeal when seen in formation under way or moored. Without visible distinguishing mark to the stranger, the destroyers have almost living individualism to their crews.”
