“Trees are your best antiques.” — Alexander Smith Quote

Trees are your best antiques.

The saddest thing that befalls a soul is when it loses faith in God and woman.

In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place today, it is vain to seek it there tomorrow. You can not lay a trap for it.

Death is the ugly fact which Nature has to hide, and she hides it well.

A man doesn't plant a tree for himself. He plants it for posterity.

Neither of my parents are involved in theater or acting, but they are very artistic. My mom is a painter; she's an artist. She went to school for fashion illustration. My father is into collecting antiques and fine wine, so they're both really creative people.

When I was a little girl, I watched all old movies. My mother liked old movies, and she loved shopping for antiques, so I was around old things all the time.

I really, really like interior design. I grew up in a really old house outside of Philly that was built in 1821. My mom is really into antiques, and my dad is very mid-century. They're not together anymore, so in the middle of growing up, I, all of the sudden, had two houses that were very different but really well done in each of their own ways.

I love Steve Harvey on 'Family Feud.' I love 'Antiques Roadshow' and 'Fixer Upper.' Anything that's mind-numbing.
