    If to chaffer and higgle are bad in trade, they are much worse in Love. It demands directness as of an arrow.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Sir Charles: Are you?
    Princess Dala: What?
    Sir Charles: What they call you—the Virgin Queen?
    Princess Dala: I’m not a queen.
    —Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    Poverty demoralizes. A man in debt is so far a slave; and Wall-street thinks it easy for a millionaire to be a man of his word, a man of honor, but, that, in failing circumstances, no man can be relied on to keep his integrity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
