As the pain that can be told i...

As the pain that can be told is but half a pain, so the pity that questions has little healing in its touch.

Edith Wharton 287 quotes

I was just a screw or cog in the great machine I called life, and when I dropped out of it I found I was of no use anywhere else.

Edith Wharton 287 quotes

There is someone I must say go...

There is someone I must say goodbye to. Oh, not you - we are sure to see each other again - but the Lily Bart you knew. I have kept her with me all this time, but now we are going to part, and I have brought her back to you - I am going to leave her here. When I go out presently she will not go with me. I shall like to think that she has stayed with you.

Edith Wharton 287 quotes

Through this atmosphere of tor...

Through this atmosphere of torrid splendor moved wan beings as richly upholstered as the furniture, beings without definite pursuits or permanent relations, who drifted on a languid tide of curiosity... Somewhere behind them, in the background of their lives there was doubtless a real past, yet they had no more real existence than the poet's shades in limbo.

Edith Wharton 287 quotes

They belonged to that vast group of human automata who go through life without neglecting to perform a single one of the gestures executed by the surrounding puppets.

Edith Wharton 287 quotes

She said she knew we were safe...

She said she knew we were safe with you, and always would be, because once, when she asked you to, you'd given up the thing you most wanted.' Archer received this strange communication in silence. His eyes remained unseeingly fixed on the thronged sunlit square below the window. At length he said in a low voice: 'She never asked me.

Then stay with me a little longer,' Madame Olenska said in a low tone, just touching his knee with her plumed fan. It was the lightest touch, but it thrilled him like a caress.

Yes, the Gorgon has dried your tears.' Well, she has opened my eyes too; it's a delusion to say she blinds people. What she does is the contrary-she fastens their eyelids open, so they're never again in the blessed darkness.

Edith Wharton 287 quotes

His whole future seemed sudden...

His whole future seemed suddenly to be unrolled before him; and passing down its endless emptiness he saw the dwindling figure of a man to whom nothing was ever to happen.

Edith Wharton 287 quotes

It was too late for happiness ...

It was too late for happiness - but not too late to be helped by the thought of what I had missed. That is all I haved lived on - don't take it from me now

There's nothing grimmer than the tragedy that wears a comic mask.

Edith Wharton 287 quotes

An education is like a crumbling building that needs constant upkeep with repairs and additions.

But marriage is one long sacrifice.... Chapter 21, Medora Manson speaking to Newland Archer

...I have always lived on contrasts! To me the only death is monotony. Beware of monotony; it's the mother of all the deadly sins.

Most timidities have such secret compensations and Miss Bart was discerning enough to know that the inner vanity is generally in proportion to the outer self depreciation.

Edith Wharton 287 quotes

Her mind was an hotel where facts came and went like transient lodgers, without leaving their address behind, and frequently without paying for their board.

Yes, one gets over things. But there are certain memories one can't bit on.

In all the arts abundance seems to be one of the surest signs of vocation.

One cares so little for the style in which one's praises are written.

One of the first obligations of art is to make all useful things beautiful.
