More quotes by Mary McCarthy
People with bad consciences always fear the judgment of children.
She decided she wanted a cool, starchy independent life, with ruffles of humor like window curtains.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
