Edith Wharton
“An unalterable and unquestioned law of the musical world required that the German text of French operas sung by Swedish artists should be translated into Italian for the clearer understanding of English-speaking audiences.”
Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton
“Women ought to be free - as free as we are,' he declared, making a discovery of which he was too irritated to measure the terrific consequences.”
Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence

John Steinbeck
“The walls, where there was room, were well decorated with calendars and posters showing bright, improbable girls with pumped-up breasts and no hips - blondes, brunettes and redheads, but always with this bust development, so that a visitor of another species might judge from the preoccupation of artist and audience that the seat of procreation lay in the mammaries. Alice Chicoy...who worked among the shining girls, was wide-hipped and sag-chested and she walked well back on her heels...She was not in the least jealous of the calendar girls and the Coca-Cola girls. She had never seen anyone like them, and she didn't think anyone ever had.”
John Steinbeck, The Wayward Bus

Groucho Marx
“I'm not crazy about reality, but it's still the only place to get a decent meal.”
Groucho Marx

Groucho Marx
“He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.”
Groucho Marx
