Fullerton

Famous quotes containing the word fullerton:

    At no time in history ... have the people who are not fit for society had such a glorious opportunity to pretend that society is not fit for them. Knowledge of the slums is at present a passport to society—so much the parlor philanthropists have achieved—and all they have to do is to prove that they know their subject. It is an odd qualification to have pitched on; but gentlemen and ladies are always credulous, especially if you tell them that they are not doing their duty.
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    ... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    ... the aristocracy most widely developed in America is that of wealth.
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
