After all, the world is not a stage not to me: nor a theatre: nor a show-house of any sort. And art, especially novels, are not li...ttle theatres where the reader sits aloft and watches ... and sighs, commiserates, condones and smiles.--That's what you want a book to be: because it leaves you so safe and superior, with your two-dollar ticket to the show. And that's what my books are not and never will be....

The women who take husbands not out of love but out of greed, to get their bills paid, to get a fine house and clothes and jewels;... the women who marry to get out of a tiresome job, or to get away from disagreeable relatives, or to avoid being called an old maid--these are whores in everything but name. The only difference between them and my girls is that my girls gave a man his money's worth.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
