“Emma: You can demand that Pettibone retain my services, but you cannot make similar demands of the parents of the students. They will not entrust the education of their daughters to a woman who has removed her clothing for an artist, no matter how exalted that artist may be. Pettibone would become a school without students. No that avenue is closed to me now. Nicholas: Women disrobe for men other than their husbands every day. Emma: But they are not on exhibition in the Royal Academy. Nicholas: what of extenuating circumstances? Emma: You make no sense”

“Emmeline’s room overlooked Eros and Psyche on the front lawn, while Hannah preferred the smaller one with a view to the rose garden and the lake beyond. The two bedrooms were adjoined by a small sitting area, which was always referred to as the burgundy room, though I never could think why as the walls were a pale shade of duck-egg blue and the curtains a Liberty floral in blues and pinks.”

“Emmett Till and I were about the same age. A week after he was murdered... I stood on a corner with a gang of boys, looking at pictures of him in the black newspapers and magazines. In one, he was laughing and happy. In the other, his head was swollen and bashed in, his eyes bulging out of their sockets, and his mouth twisted and broken... I couldn't get Emmett Till out of my mind, until one evening I thought of a way to get back at white people for his death.”

“Emmies, for example, most of that's bullshit. Oscars are even worse. We have a strange, terrible affliction in this town. Everybody walks around bent-backed from slapping each other on the backs so much. It looks like arthritis but it isn't. It's hunger for recognition. And it's sort of like, well, I'll scratch you this time if you'll scratch me next time. That kind of thing.”

“Emocjonalny stosunek Polaków do sąsiednich narodów jest obciążony wspomnieniem doznanych krzywd, odniesionych ran (rzecz jasna tych, które nam zadano, a nie tych, które my zadawaliśmy) oraz rachunkiem poległych i pomordowanych. Łatwo rozdmuchać tlący się żar tej wrogości oraz pragnienie wyrównania rachunku. Robią to czasem politycy dla doraźnego, wyborczego zysku. Taki zysk zmienia się jednak w narodową stratę. Stosunki z sąsiednimi państwami zależą od psychologicznej tkanki stosunków między narodami. Dla każdego polskiego rządu – obojętne czy premierem będzie Kaczyński, czy Tusk – rozniecona wrogość wobec Rosjan, Niemców lub Ukraińców będzie jak kula u nogi, która nie pozwoli na układanie wzajemnych stosunków gospodarczych i politycznych w najlepiej pojętym interesie narodowym. Słono za to zapłacimy.”

“Emotion and chocolate are a lot alike: Too much and you can get downright sick, too little and the world might as well end (that is, if you like chocolate as much as I do). We women are emotional creatures! Little girls may be made of "sugar and spice and everything nice"; but let enough time go by, and that recipe is sure to ferment into some sort of emotion.”
