Famous quotes containing the words display and/or facilities:

    “In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    “Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
