“Don’t you think I’ve had enough excitement for one evening, without the additional thrill of a strange man making love to me?”

“Pride can go without domestics, without fine clothes, can live in a house with two rooms, can eat potato, purslain, beans, lyed corn, can work on the soil, can travel afoot, can talk with poor men, or sit silent well contented with fine saloons. But vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last; a long way leading nowhere.—Only one drawback; proud people are intolerably selfish, and the vain are gentle and giving.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Some interests have got a footing on the earth which we have not made sufficient allowance for.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
