Edith Wharton said this quote
“ The very good people did not convince me, I felt they'd never been tempted. But you knew, you understood, you felt the world outside tugging at one with all its golden hands - and you hated the things it asked of one, you hated happiness bought by disloyalty and cruelty and indifference. That was what I'd never known before - and it's better than anything I've known. ”
