Stacks of inspiration in my library.

To lead a fascinating life…one brimming with art, music, intrigue and romance—you must surround yourself with precisely those things. Your curiosity and passion for learning should never abate, even with age, because the pursuit of proportion can be a constant source of joy available to you all through life. Keep your eyes open, observe people, study things of quality in stores, and read, read, read.
