“Oh, this age! How tasteless and ill-bred it is.”
“The liar was the hottest to defend his veracity, the coward his courage, the ill-bred his gentlemanliness, and the cad his honor”
“This late age of the world’s experience had bred in them all, all men and women, a well of tears.”
“To care only for well-being seems to me positively ill-bred. Whether it’s good or bad, it is sometimes very pleasant, too, to smash things.”
“But what I do love about this road is how the gaudy becomes grand, how tastelessness is a way of everyday life”
“You ignorant, ill-bred foreigners! If you don't like the way I'm doing things out there, why don't you just pack up and go back to your own countries!”
