The Raj Quartet 1 Quotes

“We still equate fair skin with superior intelligence. Even equate it with beauty. The sun is too strong here. It darkens us and saps us. Paleness is synonymous with worldly success, because paleness is the mark of intellectual, not physical endeavor and worldly success is seldom achieved with the muscles.”
― Paul Scott, The Raj Quartet 1: The Jewel in the Crown/The Day of the Scorpion
