The Mother's Recompense QUOTES

1 " This new resolve gave her a sort of light-headed self-confidence: when she left the dinner-table she felt so easy and careless that she was surprised to see that the glass of champagne beside her plate was untouched. She felt as if all its sparkles were whirling through her. "

― Edith Wharton , The Mother's Recompense

2 " Mereu aceeași platitudine și lipsă de relief, aceeași uniformitate a măștii americane, cu expresia ei de drăgălășenie inofensivă. … Chipurile lor semănau cu acele peisaje din Vestul Mijlociu, cu acei nesfârșiți kilometri de lanuri de grâu care separă între ele două stații de cale ferată. "

― Edith Wharton , The Mother's Recompense

3 " „Fericirea, la unele firi e ca o alunecare de teren pe munte. "

― Edith Wharton , The Mother's Recompense
