Pulitzer Odullu Amerikali yazar Edith (Newbold Jones) Wharton’in olum yildonumu (11 Agustos 1937)
“Sanki kadinin sozcukleri nadir bir kelebekti ve en ufak bir hareketle urkek kanatlariyla ucup gidecek; rahatsiz edilmediginde ise cevresine baska bir suru kelebek toplayacakti.” Masumiyet Cagi
“It was as if her words had been some rare butterfly that the least motion might drive off on startled wings, but that might gather a flock about it if it were left undisturbed.”
''Bu gencler istediklerini mutlaka elde edeceklerini dusunurken, biz hemen her zaman istedigimizin olmayacagini dusunurduk. Sadece merak ettigim bir sey var, bir insanin cok onceden olacagini bildigi bir sey, kalbinin bu kadar hizli carpmasina neden olabilir mi?”
“The difference is that these young people take it for granted that they’re going to get whatever they want, and that we almost always took it for granted that we shouldn’t. Only, I wonder—the thing one’s so certain of in advance: can it ever make one’s heart beat as wildly?”

"I shan't be lonely now. I was lonely; I was afraid. But the emptiness and the darkness are gone; when I turn back into myself now I'm like a child going at night into a room where there's always a light."
''Sadece birbirini seven, birbirleri icin yasayan, baska hicbir seyi umursamayan iki insan gibi yasayabilecegimiz bir yere gitmek istiyorum.''
“I want - Where we shall be simply two human beings who love each other, who are the whole of life to each other; and nothing else on earth will matter.”
