“Rich women live at such a distance from life that very often they never see their money — the Queen, they say, for instance, never carries a purse.”
“Like the majority of irreproachably virtuous women, wearying often of the monotony of a virtuous life, Dolly from a distance excused illicit love, and even envied it a little.”
“Never underestimate the distance that one simple act of kindness can carry you.”
“You always lose a lot of money chasing after women, but you will never lose a lot of women chasing after money”
“Living was a dangerous past-time, and often quite painful—but there was also such joy in living, such beauty, things that one would otherwise never see, never experience, never know. The risk of pain and loss was a part of living.”
“IF LIFE WAS A THING THAT MONEY COULD BUY .....THE RICH WOULD LIVE AND THE POOR WOULD DIE.”
