When a girl feels that she’s perfectly groomed and dressed she can forget that part of her. That’s charm

I'm merely trying to give you the sort of argument that would appeal to your intelligence.

I found something! Courage--just that; courage as a rule of life and something to cling to always.

Looking back over a decade one sees the ideal of a university become a myth, a vision, a meadow lark among the smoke stacks. Yet perhaps it is there at Princeton, only more elusive than under the skies of the Prussian Rhineland or Oxfordshire; or perhaps some men come upon it suddenly and possess it, while others wander forever outside. Even these seek in vain through middle age for any corner of the republic that preserves so much of what is fair, gracious, charming and honorable in American life.

I was enjoying myself now. I had taken two finger bowls of champagne and the scene had changed before my eyes into something significant, elemental and profound.

I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others--young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life.

We must leave this terrifying place to-morrow and go searching for sunshine.
