But, if, as Ruskin says,
"Taste is the only morality", then the person who steals a Saarinen shares the identical morality with the person who buys a Saarinen, or who admires but can't afford yet doesn't steal one. (Or Saarinen himself... IF taste is morality.)
Perhaps there's more to this morality stuff than Ruskin liked to think?

Much like the "Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you what you are" line. Cheeky lines, nothing more.
