“... it has always seemed to me that books are the supreme decorations of a room”
“The best decoration in the world is a roomful of books.”
“I would prefer to have one comfortable room well stocked with books to all you could give me in the way of decoration which the highest art could supply.”
“And beauty has a quality all of its own that seems supreme; that seems above mere men with slaving ships and pistols...”
“This house is always going to be quiet now, I should get used to it. Laughter will no longer run rampant through the hallways, decorating each room.”
“It's decorated with fig leaves and, for some reason, fish. I never look too closely when raiding it; the fish that makes up the handle always seem to be giving me the serious malocchio.”
