Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House

Jim Blandings: It's like a fine painting. You buy it with your heart, not your head. You don't ask 'how much was the paint,' 'how much was the canvas.' You look at it and you say 'it's beautiful -- I want it.' And if it costs a few more pennies, you pay it -- and gladly -- because you love it. And you can't measure the things you love in dollars and cents!
