• El arte de la decoración requiere las habilidades más sofisticadas y autoindulgentes. Su objetivo siempre ha sido saciar los sentidos de la forma más gloriosa posible. ... el ornamento no es sólo una fuente de placer sensual, sino que proporciona un tipo de magia necesaria a personas y lugares que carecen de ella. No es sólo el miedo a los espacios vacíos lo que ha impulsado a decorar; es el miedo a los yoes vacíos.

• we have not been impressed with any attribute of the Senate other than its appearance and manners. We have heard the best speakers: they all fire off speeches which deal with the entire subject in general terms and which do not attempt to debate, to answer opponents' arguments or offer new points for discussion. And the speeches are constantly degenerating into empty rhetoric; they abound in quotations from well-known authors or from their own former speeches.

• Woe to those who get what they desire. Fulfillment leaves an empty space where your old self used to be, the self that pines and broods and reflects. You furnish a dream house in your imagination, but how startling and final when that dream house is your own address. What is left to you? Surrounded by what you wanted, you feel a sense of amputation. The feelings you were used to abiding with are useless. The conditions you established for your happiness are met. That youthful light-headed feeling whose sharp side is much like hunger is of no more use to you.

  Laurie Colwin
