A great novel is concerned primarily with the interior lives of its characters as they respond to the inconvenient narratives that fate imposes on them. Movie adaptations of these monumental fictions often fail because they become mere exercises in interior decoration.
Richard Schickel
But, after all, the aim of art is to create space - space that is not compromised by decoration or illustration, space within which the subjects of painting can live.
Frank Stella
Charm, in most men and nearly all women, is a decoration.
E. M. Forster
I think taking design out of the studio and really having a relationship with the people that you're making it for really convinced me of how powerful a thing design is. It's not just an aesthetic decoration.
Genevieve Gorder
I've been amazed at how often those outside the discipline of design assume that what designers do is decoration. Good design is problem solving.
Jeffery Veen
Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over.
Ernest Hemingway
The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church's greatest ornament.
Igor Stravinsky
