"Of all the causes supported by the adherents of the Arts
and Crafts movement, none is so much at the center of it all,
or through it all, as the concept of living the good life.
Whether through social reform or through the return to
simple pleasures or to simple desires in furniture and
such, the proponents of the movement, in its various forms,
were dedicated to making life more enjoyable."
--Chris Simpson
