“Live as you like best, and your character will take care of itself. Most things are good for you; the exceptions are very rare.”

“Dovete dirmi qualcosa di più dell’America; non me ne parlate mai abbastanza. Qui sono rimasta, da quando mi ci portarono, bambina inerme, ed è ridicolo, meglio, è scandaloso come ne sappia poco, di quello splendido, tremendo, buffo paese... certo più grande e più divertente di tutti gli altri. Da queste parti ce ne sono tanti di noi, e devo dire che secondo me siamo uno sciagurato accozzo di gente. Si dovrebbe vivere nella propria terra; qualunque essa sia, voi là avete il vostro posto naturale. Se non siamo buoni americani, siamo
senza dubbio europei da poco; questo non è posto naturale per noi. Siamo puri e semplici parassiti, che strisciano in superficie; i nostri piedi non sono radicati nel suolo. Guardiamo di saperlo, almeno, e di non farci illusioni.
Una donna, forse, può tirare avanti: una donna, mi sembra, non ha posto naturale in alcun luogo; dovunque si trovi, deve restare in superficie e strisciare, più o meno. Protestate, mia cara? siete inorridita? affermate che non striscerete mai? È verissimo che non vi ci vedo, a strisciare; state molto più eretta di tante altre misere creature.”
