“... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives.

—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“What I like in a good author isn’t what he says, but what he whispers.”
