The Painter Quotes

“It is not so much wealth that is flaunted here, but power. Anyone who walks through the rooms of Shotterbourne sees the authority of the nobility of this country of ours. Here in these great halls in the shires of England, this is where laws are born and the great minds of the government plan our glorious future. They are built to impress, for that is their purpose. England is strong, they proclaim. England is beautiful and rich and cultured and immovable.”
― Mary Kingswood, The Painter
