The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal. Pope Paul VI

There is an interior style we intellectuals and design policy wonks know as Haut Euro Pooftastic, which really takes the biscuit. Peter York
An armchair Jungian would say the whole thing is about my own ongoing spiritual search. My interior life has always been one of trying to find a spiritual link, maybe because I’m from a family of separate religious philosophies: Protestant and Catholic. David Bowie
I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest.

Religion is too old now; it’s from another century, it’s not for today. Alejandro Jodorowsky

‘Storm Warnings’ is a poem about powerlessness – about a force so much greater than our human powers that while it can be measured and even predicted, it is beyond human control.

Unprecedented financial pressures, and an ever-increasingly aggressive public culture, along with social, moral and spiritual fragmentation, are leading to lives being overwhelmed by stress, intolerable interior isolation and even quiet despair. Sean Brady
In interior decorating, the pig’s actually quite there. It’s used in paint for the texture, but also for the glossiness. In sandpaper, bone glue is actually the glue between the sand and the paper. And then in paintbrushes, hairs are used because, apparently, they’re very suitable for making paintbrushes because of their hard-wearing nature. Christien Meindertsma
You can learn the subtle language of interior style, but many people simply buy it. If you put yourself in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, you can be confident it will look good. Nicholas Haslam

Clothing and makeup and hair and all of that so much indicates the kind of person you are inside and the person you are presenting on the outside. Sometimes they are in conflict, and sometimes they are the same. That psychology of the exterior informing the interior is just so interesting. Tatiana Maslany
Most architects think in drawings, or did think in drawings; today, they think on the computer monitor. I always tried to think three dimensionally. The interior eye of the brain should be not flat but three dimensional so that everything is an object in space. We are not living in a two-dimensional world. Frei Otto
I have to say, without sounding like a total tosser, that everything I’ve learned in life, and that has taken me out of my natural interior life, has been with men. They exposed me to things that I wasn’t aware of. I learned from all the guys. Helen Mirren
After my schooling, I was not thrilled by the idea of treading the usual doctor-engineer line. I wanted to pursue something artistic, and I was good at drawing. The options before me were architecture, fashion, and interior designing. Keerthy Suresh

But I stand here as my own person, as a mother of three, as a former interior minister, state leader, who has served this land for 18 years and who has learned what it means to lead. And that leadership has more to do with inner strength than how loud you talk. Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer

Miami is nothing like me, and that’s why I need to be here – it’s the opposite.

Iggy Pop
Nothing is so discouraging to an actor than to have to work for long hours upon hours in brightly lighted interior sets. John Wayne
The first 10 years of my professional life had only to do with running away from my father.

I’m getting into interior design. Playboi Carti

Pope Benedict XVI
I’ve always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn’t a singer I’d probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I’m quite visually greedy.

Lewis Thomas
