Elite Quotes

“Jeder wusste, dass sich in der Königsfamilie und in den Blutlinien der Herzöge und Herzoginnen eine Magie vererbte, die man Herrschaftsmagie nannte.

Money is everything to them yet even Gatsby with all his wealth couldn't win over his prize possession, Daisy. No matter what he had or did, he never fit in the North Shore circle. She couldn't pinpoint what made them tick.”

“Shame on the misguided, the blinded, the distracted and the divided. Shame. You have allowed deceptive men to corrupt and desensitize your hearts and minds to unethically fuel their greed.”
