You were made for enjoyment,
and the world was filled
with things which you will enjoy,
unless you are too proud
to be pleased with them,
or too grasping to care
for what you cannot turn
to other account than mere delight.
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world
are the most useless:
peacocks and lilies, for instance.
John Ruskin, The Stones of Venice
