Edith Wharton Quotes
"The air of ideas is the only air worth breathing""Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, filled with gladness, quietness, and rests""A curve is more powerful than a sword""It is a curious thing that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilized taste""If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we could have a pretty good time""In spite of illness, in spite even of the arch-enemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways""Beware of monotony; it's the mother of all the deadly sins""The only way not to think about money is to have a great deal of it""Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissues""I don't know if I should care for a man who made life easy; I should want someone who made it interesting""There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it"
