No pattern should be without some sort of meaning.

If you cannot learn to love real art, at least learn to hate sham art and reject it.

Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement.

Architecture would lead us to all the arts, as it did with earlier mean: but if we despise it and take no note of how we are housed, the other arts will have a hard time of it indeed.

All rooms ought to look as if they were lived in, and to have so to say, a friendly welcome ready for the incomer.

Not on one strand are all life's jewels strung.

Another thing much too commonly seen, is an aberration of the human mind which otherwise I should have been ashamed to warn you of. It is technically called carpet-gardening. Need I explain it further? I had rather not, for when I think of it, even when I am quite alone, I blush with shame at the thought.
