Alfred de Musset

« All quotes from this author
 

The apartments of the rich are cabinets of curiosities: a conglomeration of classical antiquity, gothic, renaissance; Louis XIII...Something from every century but our own, a predicament that has arisen in no other period... so that we seem to be subsisting on the ruins of the past, as if the end of the world were near.
--
(this quotation is useful for explanations of the period of art nouveau, and the causes of the art movement).
