Famous quotes containing the word wharton:
“I have been spending my first night in an American “summer hotel,” and I despair of the Republic! Such dreariness, such whining callow women, such utter absence of the amenities, such crass food, crass manners, crass landscape!... What a horror it is for a whole nation to be developing without a sense of beauty, and eating bananas for breakfast.”
—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)
