Christmas quote

source


All the things which catered to showy material living were beginning to flourish tremendously, art and curio shops, rug shops, decorative companies dealing with the old and the new in hangings, furniture, objects of art; dealers in paintings, jewelry stores, china and glassware houses—anything and everything which goes to make life comfortable and brilliant.

Theodore Dreiser - The Genius (1915)

We have moved on considerably from anything and everything which goes to make life comfortable and brilliant but maybe that was inevitable.

Merry Christmas everyone.
