Here are some memorable quotes by Edith Wharton:
1. ”There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
2. ”There are moments when, whatever the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.”
3. ”True originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision.”
4. ”Life is always a tightrope or a feather bed. Give me the tightrope.”
5. ”There are two ways of being rich: one is to have all you want, the other is to be satisfied with what you have.”
6. ”Habit is necessary; it is the habit of having habits, of turning a trail into a rut, that must be incessantly fought against if one is to remain alive.”
7. ”Beware of monotony; it’s the mother of all the deadly sins.”
8. ”There is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.”
9. ”Silence may be golden, but can it be as golden as words?”
10. ”There are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life fully, entirely, completely—or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.”
These quotes reflect Wharton’s insights on life, human nature, and the pursuit of happiness. They showcase her ability to articulate profound ideas with clarity and elegance.
