" The temporary restoration, the status quo ruled supreme. They waited only for a miracle. They would have come architects, builders, bricklayers, plumbers, upholsterers, painters. They were embarking on a cruise and had on their return a converted, refurbished, newly decorated apartment found a model home, miraculously enlarged full features that fit her, adjustable partitions, sliding doors, effective and unobtrusive heating, covered electrical installations, tasteful furnishings. "Georges Perec , Things manholt, Bremen 2001, p. 21 (French : Start Les Choses, 1965)
