Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton  
Edith Wharton (born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, playwright, and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper class New York "aristocracy" to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996.

 

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
-- Edith Wharton

“The real loneliness is living among all these kind people who only ask one to pretend!”
-- Edith Wharton

“One of the great things about travel is you find out how many good, kind people there are.”
-- Edith Wharton
