There are lots of ways of being miserable, but there’s only one way of being comfortable, and that is to stop running round after happiness. If you make up your mind not to be happy there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have a fairly good time.
Edith Wharton (January 24, 1862-August 11, 1937) was born into a wealthy New York family and used her insider’s view of America’s privileged classes to depict old moneyed society with humor, wit, and brilliance. In 1921 she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Age of Innocence, her 12th novel. Her other books include The House of Mirth and Ethan Frome.
