Luxury

Famous quotes containing the word luxury:

“People buy their necessities in shops and have to pay dearly for them because they have to assist in paying for what is also on sale there but only rarely finds purchasers: the luxury and amusement goods. So it is that luxury continually imposes a tax on the simple people who have to do without it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“It is hard to rescue a man from the slough of luxury and idleness combined. If anything can do it, it is a cradle filled annually.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
