The Man of Mode Quotes

“Love gilds us over and makes us show fine things to one another for a time, but soon the gold wears off, and then again the native brass appears.”
― George Etherege, The Man of Mode

“Nature well drawn, and wit, must now give place
To gaudy nonsense and to dull grimace:
Nor is it strange that you should like so much
That kind of wit, for most of yours is such.”
― George Etherege, The Man of Mode
