All finery is a sign of littleness Picture Quote #1

How am I to dress up in my finery, and go off and away to smart parties, after the sorrow I have seen today? Picture Quote #1

From the half open doors of this chiffonier hung laces, ribands, stockings, ladies' underclothing and an abdominal brace, which gave the impression that the feminine finery had suffered venery Picture Quote #1

One must commit acts of the highest treason only when dressed in the most resplendent finery Picture Quote #1

Let’s just call things what they are. When a man’s love of finery clouds his moral judgment, that is vanity. When he lets a demanding palate make his moral choices, that is gluttony. When he ascribes the divine will to his own whims, that is pride. And when he gets angry at being reminded of animal suffering that his own daily choices might help avoid, that is moral cowardice Picture Quote #1

I know it’s not clothes that make women beautiful or otherwise, nor beauty care, nor expensive creams, nor the distinction of costliness of their finery. I know the problem lies elsewhere. I don’t know where. I only know it isn’t where women think Picture Quote #1

The nobility danced for the sake of social grace, to exhibit their finery... peasants danced to make themselves happy, to escape the routine of their life, and to meet their future wives and husbands Picture Quote #1

He took comfort in the neon signs, the wild strands of jazz creeping out of clubs whenever happy swells of people pushed through the doors in their finery Picture Quote #1

Children who are decked with prince’s robes and who have jeweled chains round their necks lose all pleasure in play; their dress hampers them at every step. In fear that it may be frayed, or stained with dust, they keep themselves from the world and are afraid ever to move. Mother, it is no gain, thy bondage of finery, if it keep one shut off from the healthful dust of the earth, if it rob one of the right of entrance to the great fair of common human life Picture Quote #1
