Famous quotes by edith wharton:
“There’s no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“Almost everybody in the neighborhood had ‘troubles,’ frankly localized and specified; but only the chosen had ‘complications.’ To have them was in itself a distinction, though it was also, in most cases, a death warrant. People struggled on for years with ‘troubles,’ but they almost always succumbed to ‘complications.’”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
