A Quote by Freddie Mercury

I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter. — © Freddie Mercury
I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter.
I am never five minutes into stripping the clutter from my life before I start running into the clutter that is my life.
Some kind of clutter is difficult - letting go of things with sentimental value, sifting through papers - but some clutter I find very refreshing to clear. I drive my daughters nuts because I'm always wandering into their rooms to clear clutter.
I made a decision at some point to live a nontraditional life. I've become like, the opposite of a consumer. I just want freedom. I don't want stuff. I don't want clutter. I just want to be able to move freely. I want to be good to the people I love. But I don't want stuff. I just want, you know, love and big ideas.
Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple.
Being clear of clutter is one of the greatest aids I know to discovering and manifesting the life you want.
The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple.
The man Dickens, whom the world at large thought it knew, stood for all the Victorian virtues - probity, kindness, hard work, sympathy for the down-trodden, the sanctity of domestic life - even as his novels exposed the violence, hypocrisy, greed, and cruelty of the Victorian age.
I don't want to fill my life with clutter because when the right man comes along, there will be no space for him to fit in.
Clutter is not a property of information. Clutter is a failure of design.
[If you want to] ask the question what is beautiful? It's the life that you lead. It's the life that all women lead.
Clutter is not just physical stuff. It's old ideas, toxic relationships and bad habits. Clutter is anything that does not support your better self.
You've probably heard about the theory of steam-engine time - that even after the steam engine had been invented, it had to wait until people were ready to make use of it. The same thing happens in literary circles. The truth is, I'm not terribly interested in Victorian times; I'm interested in Victorian writers. I'm interested in most eras of history, but not the Victorian Era especially. I was interested in the John Franklin Expedition. I was interested in these last five weird years of Dickens' life. And I just have to take the age that comes with all that when I write about it.
People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
The mortal world is in a state of Beautiful Chaos and destruction, which will ultimately lead to an exquisite end.
Clutter is not an attribute of information, clutter is a failure of design...fix the design rather than stripping all the detail out of the map.
I lead a very conventional life. I don't lead a writer's life. And I think that can be a source of suspicion and irritation to some people. This was more true when I was living in California, when I didn't lead a writer's life at all.
