Quotations
1. “And you must begin by telling your wife the whole story.”
2. “Call it what you choose. I hold your husband in the hollow of my hand, and if you are wise you will make him do what I tell him.”
3. “Ah! The truth is a thing I get rid of as soon as possible! Bad habit, by
the way. Makes one very unpopular at the club… with the older members. They call it being conceited. Perhaps it is.”
4. “Nobody is incapable of doing a foolish thing. Nobody is incapable of
doing a wrong thing.”
5. “It has taught me that a person who has once been guilty of a dishonest and dishonorable action may be guilty of it a second time, and should be shunned.”
6. “Lie to me! Lie to me! Tell me it is not true!” Olivia Rosser, Martina Gut, FH II, UZH
