One makes war to win, not because it's just.
Style is luxury, and luxury is simply what makes you happy.
Life is messy and gloriously imperfect, and some signs of wear and tear indicate a well-loved, well-used home.
Our home tells a story about us, so we may as well take the opportunity to make it a stylish one.
The point of decorating, as far as I can tell, is to create the background for the best life you can have.
Gardening is ultimately a folly whose goal is to provide delight.
Liberal gardeners are people who feel that, through gardening, we can alleviate our sense of alienation from nature; and that, through good gardening, we can repair some of the damage we have done to our environment.
