“That was what the season was, after all- a marriage market for the offspring of the aristocracy.”
“The London season is like one of those Drury Lane melodramas in which marriage is always the ending. And no one ever seems to give any thought as to what happens after. But marriage isn’t the end of the story it’s the beginning. And it demands the efforts of both partners to make a success of it.”
“What we do for each other before marriage is no indication of what we will do after marriage.”
“It is a know fact that almost all revolutions have been the work, not of the common people, but of the aristocracy, and especially of the decayed part of the aristocracy.”
“There is only one true aristocracy . . . and that is the aristocracy of passionate souls!”
“What is beautiful is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.”
