“She was simple, not being able to adorn herself, but she was unhappy, as one out of her class; for women belong to no caste, no race, their grace, their beauty and their charm serving them in place of birth and family. Their inborn finesse, their instinctive elegance, their suppleness of wit, are their only aristocracy, making some daughters of the people the equal of great ladies.”
― Guy de Maupassant, A Piece of String / The Necklace

“When things don't change, their sameness becomes an accretion. That is why all society puts on flesh. Succumbs to the cubicles and begins to fill them.”
― Tennessee Williams

“There is only one language, the language of the Heart. There is only one religion, the religion of Love.”
― Sri Sathya Sai Baba

“People often miss things that don't exist--miss things that were but are not anymore.”
― Sarah McCoy, The Baker's Daughter
