Gail Porter

The '20s ended in an era of extravagance, sort of like the one we're in now. There was a big crash, but then the country picked itself up again, and we had some great years. Those were the days when American believed in itself. I was happy and proud to be painting it.

Jane Austen

It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
