Denis Diderot, a famous French philosopher, lived in poverty until 1765. He was bailed out by a fan, Catherine the Great, who was at that time Empress of Russia. She offered to buy his library at the rate of £1000. After her purchase, he decides to buy a new scarlet robe; then he suddenly realized “there was no more coordination, no more unity, no. more beauty between his robe and other items” He needed to buy new things that’ll match the beauty of his robe.
