When I was walking around Madrid, I happened across the bookstore for the publishing house M. Moleiro. They reproduce illuminated manuscripts from the 6th-14th century, along with study books in multiple translations, and they’re unbelievably beautiful.

This is a wonderful little bookshop just off of Brick Lane in London. They have their books sorted by theme (e.g. "leaving home", rather than genre, author, etc) and the staff are lovely. I love popping in for a quick browse every so often – but even if I'm going to window shop I tend to leave with one or two things :)
The back of the shop is a gigantic mirror, which makes it look a lot bigger. Every time I'm there I get tricked by it for at least a couple seconds, which is very humbling.

“An artist cannot speak about his art anymore than a plant can discuss horticulture.”

“Living is a horizontal fall.”
“Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time”
“Art is science made clear.”
“Mirrors should think longer before they reflect.”
