There will always be something!

There will be little rubs and dissapointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much; but then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere.

Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

Words

And those are the words of a gentleman? From the moment I met you your aroggance and conceit and your selfish disdain for the feelings of other made me realize that you are the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.

Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, 1813, Jane Austen.

Barokk, klassisisme og opplysningstid.

Barokken er Gud, sjevhet, ornamentikk, Bach, Rembrandt og Italia.
Klassisismen er framragende, klassisk og karakteristisk.
Opplysningstida er kunnskap, innsikt, Holberg og Frankrike.
