"The particular, feminine joys to be found in buying and redecorating a beautiful house"
"There are certain things about women that men will never understand, in part because they have no interest in understanding them. They will never know how deeply we care about our houses - what a large role they play in our dreams for ourselves, how unhappy their shortcomings make us...nor can they understand the way physical comforts or simple luxuries-the fresh towel or the fat new cake of soap-can lift our spirits."
Caitlin Flanagan in her article The Glory of Oprah, The Atlantic, December 2011
