Quotes6

  • Lily Bart: Grace, you know Lawrence. If I asked him to help me, told him why - would he loathe me if I told him everything?
  • Grace: No - you must not do that. He is like other men. They have minds like moral flypaper. They can forgive a woman almost anything except the loss of her good name.
  • Mrs. Peniston: To grow richer, when at a time when most people's investments are shrinking strikes me as being in very bad taste.
  • Grace: But society still uses such men if only obliquely.
  • Lily Bart: If obliquity were a vice, we should all be tainted.
  • Lawrence Selden: How is life at Richfield?
  • Grace: Quiet. Aunt Peniston sees very little company.
  • Lawrence Selden: I'm sure your being there gave her much pleasure.
  • Grace: Yes, I am as reliable as roast mutton.
  • Grace: Mr Selden tells me that socially Mr Rosedale is very ubiquitous now.
  • Mrs. Peniston: Do people say he's in love with her?
  • Grace: People *always* say unpleasant things.
  • Mrs. Peniston: Does he mean to divorce then marry her?
  • Grace: No, it's - it's a flirtation, nothing more.
  • Mrs. Peniston: A flirtation? With a married man? Such things were never heard of in my day.
