DeAnn’s Notes & Highlights

The French Kitchen by Kristy Cambron

1 note & 1 highlight

What do they say—when a man shows you his character, believe him?

I'm fairly certain this quote was made public by Oprah, quoting Maya Angelou, and was not popularized until the late 1990s. Not sure why characters are talking about this quote like it is already a popular thing to say.

“He loved possessions, not masses of them, but a select few that he did not part with. They gave a man self-respect. Not ostentation but quality, and the love that cherished the quality. Possessions reminded him that he existed, and made him enjoy his existence. It was as simple as that. And wasn't that worth something? He existed. Not many people in the world knew how to, even if they had the money. It really didn't take money, masses of money, it took a certain security.”
― Patricia Highsmith, The Talented Mr. Ripley
