THE GOLDEN HOUSE

Absolutely necessary that the world should be amused

Affectation of familiarity

Air of determined enjoyment

Always did what he said he would do

Desire to do something rather than the desire to make something

Don't know what it's all for--I doubt if there is much in it

Easier to make art fashionable than to make fashion artistic

Emanation of aggressive prosperity

Everybody is superficially educated

Grateful for her forbearance of verbal expression

Happy life: an income left, not earned by toil

Her very virtues are enemies of her peace

How little a thing can make a woman happy

Human vanity will feed on anything within its reach

If one man wins, somebody else has got to lose

Knew how to be confidential without disclosing anything

Long-established habits of aversion or forbearance

Moral hazard bravely incurred in the duty of knowing life

Nature is such a beautiful painter of wood

No confidences are possible outside of that relation

No one expected anything, and no one was disappointed

No such thing as a cheap yacht

Ordering and eating the right sort of lunch

Pitiful about habitual hypocrisy is that it never deceives anybody

"Squares," where the poor children get their idea of forests

To be commanded with such gentleness was a sort of luxury

Was getting to be the fashion; but now it's fashionable

Whatever he disclosed was always in confidence

World requires a great variety of people to keep it going
