• Life in the country teaches one that the really stimulating things are the quiet, natural things, and the really wearisome things are the noisy, unnatural things. It is more exciting to stand still than to dance. Silence is more eloquent than speech. Water is more stimulating than wine. Fresh air is more intoxicating than cigarette smoke. Sunlight is more subtle than electric light. The scent of grass is more luxurious than the most expensive perfume. The slow, simple observations of the peasant are more wise than the most sparkling epigrams of the latest wit.

  Beverley Nichols

• There is a conception in this country about luxurious things that we have to save them for a time that's right. But an object is truly luxurious if you allow it to be, if you use it. When you live with beautiful things you stimulate your mind, you enjoy life a little bit more.

• Y toda esta locura, toda esta rabia, toda esta muerte en llamas de nuestra civilización y de nuestras esperanzas, se ha producido porque un conjunto de señores oficiales, que viven vidas lujosas, en su mayoría estúpidos, y todos sin imaginación ni corazón, han preferido que esto ocurriera a que cualquiera de ellos sufriera algún infinitesimal desaire al orgullo de su país.

• La noche anterior había enjuagado mi sari y mis calzoncillos en el mar. Bajé desnuda hasta donde colgaban en las ramas del árbol de hojas plateadas junto al arroyo. Bajo la perezosa sensualidad de un lujoso estiramiento desde los dedos de los pies hasta la nariz sentí la fuerte demanda inequívoca de mi sangre. Me abracé a mí misma por un momento observando cómo la luz gris cedía el paso al amanecer a través de los ojos entrecerrados.
