It is such a pleasure to see a home decorated with things that mean something to the owner, that were a part and trophies of his life, and not the merely the pretty and expensive things that people who can afford anything so often surround themselves with.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."

Solid.
