Famous quotes containing the word wharton:
“My first few weeks in America are always miserable, because the tastes I am cursed with are all of a kind that cannot be gratified here, & I am not enough in sympathy with our “gros public” to make up for the lack on the aesthetic side. One’s friends are delightful; but we are none of us Americans, we don’t think or feel as the Americans do, we are the wretched exotics produced in a European glass-house, the most déplacé & useless class on earth!”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“After all, one knows one’s weak points so well, that it’s rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them & invent others.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
