What must it be like, do you think, to run about saying whatever one likes, as so many gentlemen do? To have one's flaws and misdeeds attributed not to one's sex, or the manner of one's birth, but to one's character alone. I should like that, I think; to make an utter fool of myself, and be regarded not as a bad example of womanhood, but merely a bad example.

Truth had never opened anyone's heart - or purse strings - to a cause.

There is always that part of us, I think, that supposes ourselves immortal - not me, not today, not like this.

3/5 fun idea just not for me. Though I got some good quotes from it. Many other may love this book, and I can see why, it just wasn't a book for me.

Great setting descriptions, great character development, I'm not really sure what was lacking in this for me, but something was.
