Summary

This quote satirically suggests that in Hollywood, the entertainment industry often places more value and emphasis on the bride, symbolized by the bouquet she carries at a wedding, rather than the groom. It implies that women tend to have a more glamorous and celebrated role in this context, while men are disregarded or seen as expendable. The statement highlights the superficial and fickle nature of relationships and societal priorities within the Hollywood culture.

Rhetoric, it seems, is a producer of persuasion for belief, not for instruction in the matter of right and wrong... And so the rhetorician's business is not to instruct a law court or a public meeting in matters of right and wrong, but only to make them believe.

The marquis de Carabas was not a good man, and he knew himse

The marquis de Carabas was not a good man, and he knew himself well enough to be perfectly certain that he was not a brave man. He had long since decided that the world, Above or Below, was a place that wished to be deceived, and, to this end, he had named himself from a lie in a fairy tale, and created himself--his clothes, his manner, his carriage--as a grand joke.There was a dull pain in his wrists and his feet, and he was finding it harder and harder to breathe. There was nothing more to be gained by feigning unconsciousness, and he raised his head, as best he could, and spat a gob of scarlet blood into Mr. Vandemar's face.It was a brave thing to do, he thought. And a stupid one. Perhaps they would have let him die quietly, if he had not done that. Now, he had no doubt, they would hurt him more. And perhaps his death would come the quicker for it.

When you have dogs, you witness their uncomplaining acceptance of suffering, their bright desire to make the most of life in spite of the limitations of age and disease, their calm awareness of the approaching end when their final hours come. They accept death with a grace that I hope I will one day be brave enough to muster.
