1 " I don’t cut corners, I shine them. "
― Nita Prose , The Maid

3 " A clean home, a clean body, and clean company. Do you know where that leads?'I could not have been more than five years old when she taught me this. I looked way up at her as she spoke. 'Where does it lead, Gran?''To a clean conscience. To a good, clean life. "
4 " That’s the trouble with pain. It’s a contagious as a disease. It spreads from the person who first endured it to those who love them most. Truth isn’t always the highest ideal’ sometimes it must be sacrificed to stop the spread of pain to those you love. "
5 " It’s easier than you’d ever think—existing in plain sight while remaining largely invisible. That’s what I’ve learned from being a maid. "
6 " As for order, it is my express wish to live as ordered a life as possible. But the world is filled with random chaos that often devils my attempts at arrangement. "
7 " Never leave a mess to be discovered by a guest. "
8 " It’s funny the way memories bubble up whenever I clean. I do wonder if that’s the same for everyone—for everyone who cleans, that is. "

12 " Discretion is my motto. Invisible customer service is my goal. "
13 " What a day it has been, what a day indeed. It is one I'd rather forget than remember, and yet it doesn't work that way. We bury the bad memories deep, but they don't go away. They're within us all the time.[Molly Gray] "
14 " I’ll never understand it—why people find the truth more shocking than lies. "
15 " Laughs are just like smiles. People use them to express an array of confounding emotions. "
16 " I do sometimes feel angry. Especially when guests are careless. When they forget that their actions have an impact on others, when I’m treated like I don’t matter. "
17 " One thing I’ve learned in my business is that you can hide dirt for a while, but at some point, it all comes to the surface. "
18 " Wir müssen wie Bambus sein. Wir müssen lernen uns im Wind zu wiegen und zu bewegen. "
