The pearl Quotes

“As the face of beauty grows dim with age, so gradually the brilliancy of youth fades from the pearl and the complexion of it is changed. And yet it retains a certain loveliness which may be well compared to the exquisite serenity with which the maturer years of some women are adorned.”
― Wallis Richard Cattelle, The pearl

“The pearl is the favorite of those who are surfeited with jewels. One may become tired of the diamond's splendor, but those who learn to appreciate the unobtrusive loveliness of the pearl seldom lose their fondness for them which is develops. It is the one gem which does not satiate.”
― Wallis Richard Cattelle, The pearl
