Quote by Kirsten Miller

“Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" asked Rose, who had recently devoured The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. "I'm not sure," Sadie replied. "Is a thunderstorm good or bad?" Rose's nose wrinkled. It was a ridiculous question. "Neither," she said. "It's nature." Sadie shrugged. "So am I," she said.”

“...the art of dressing well consists in knowing the prevailing fashions, and adapting them to your particular style. What suits one will not always look beautiful on another. There should be discrimination, the result of a cultivated taste. To deviate from the prevailing mode entirely is, on the other hand, a grave blunder; for anything odd makes a lady a laughing-stock, and the dress quite out of fashion is, therefore, to be avoided. Peterson's Magazine, June 1879”

“Zu den unbedingt begrüßenswerten Disziplinarmaßnahmen des Menschen, denen er sich unterwirft, gehört die Mode. Gute Kleidung befreit ihn zumindest notdürftig von seiner unschönen Nacktheit, sie veredelt die Gebrechen des Alters, verdeckt Unvorteilhaftes des Körpers, kurzum: Sie verhilft ihm zu einem Mindestmaß an Ansehen. Sie legt sich wie dunkelste Nacht über seinen grotesken, seinen sündenbefleckten, begehrten und begehrlichen Leib; einen Leib, der zu Unförmigkeit neigt, zu Schwangerschaft, zu Krankheit, zu kurioser Hässlichkeit.”
