A swift carriage, of a dark night, rattling with four horses over roads that one can’t see - that’s my idea of happiness.

- "You were the last person I expected to see caught."

- "I don't know why you call it caught."

- "Because you're going to be put into a cage."

- "If I like my cage, that needn't trouble you.”

- "You must have changed immensely. A year ago you valued your liberty beyond everything. You wanted only to see life."

- "I've seen it." "It doesn't look to me now, I admit, as such an inviting expanse."

- "I don't pretend it is; only I had an idea that you (...) wanted to survey the whole field."

- “I've seen that one can't do anything so general. One must choose a corner and cultivate that."

- “That's what I think. And one must choose as good a corner as possible.”

- Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady (1881)
