“The greatest mistake is to think that we ever know why we do things...I suppose the nearest we can ever come to it is by getting what old people call 'experience.' But by the time we've got that we're no longer the persons who did the things we no longer understand. The trouble is, I suppose, that we change every moment; and the things we did stay.”
― Edith Wharton, The Buccaneers

“I believe poor people are good people, except the ones that are mean … and they’d be mean even if they were rich.”
― Fannie Flagg, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

“Don't you ever mind," she asked suddenly, "not being rich enough to buy all the books you want?”
― Edith Wharton, The House of Mirth

“I take the position that true faith is not a supersessional knowledge. It cannot discard the intellect.”
― E.L. Doctorow, City of God
