fiefoe"How Do I Love Thee" / Lori Gottlieb
__ 'Serotonin became the Builder. Dopamine, the Explorer. Testosterone, the Director. And estrogen - I wish I'd called it the Ambassador or Diplomat.'
__ People who sometimes make faces at themselves in the mirror have a sense of humor.

('She learned about art history and wine-making during this clandestine and short relationship.')
"Books: Home Alone" / Terry Castle
__ Decor-fixated individuals, .. are usually "neurotic, refined, sad people," prone to "secret melancholy" and "hypersensitive nerves." Quaint language aside (Praz enlists the "mad, lonely spirit" of Ludwig II of Bavaria as a historical example of the syndrome), the calim is weirdly compelling.
__ "Not your mother's [whatever]" turns out to be an established interiors trope, endlessly recycled in titled, pull quotes, advertisements, photo captions, and the like.
