Quotes by Vicki Delany (?)

“The only value objects have is what people are willing to pay to own them.”
― Vicki Delany

“Chapter One. I love owning a dog. I love being owned by a dog. No matter how tough the day has been or how low my mood might be, being greeted at the door by a joyful, exuberant animal is one of life’s greatest pleasures. It’s hard to stay tired or grumpy or in a thoroughly foul mood in the face of those bright eyes, perky ears, lolling tongue, shivering body, and tail wagging hard enough to knock the knickknacks off side tables.”
― Vicki Delany, A Scandal in Scarlet
