A woman can look both moral and exciting — if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.<\/div>\n
Edna Ferber – [Morality<\/a>]<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

America — rather, the United States — seems to me to be the Jew among the nations. It is resourceful, adaptable, maligned, envied, feared, imposed upon. It is warm-hearted, over-friendly; quick-witted, lavish, colorful; given to extravagant speech and gestures; its people are travelers and wanderers by nature, moving, shifting, restless; swarming in Fords, in ocean liners; craving entertainment; volatile. The chuckle among the nations of the world.<\/div>\n
Edna Ferber – [America<\/a>]<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
I am not belittling the brave pioneer men but the sunbonnet as well as the sombrero has helped to settle this glorious land of ours.<\/div>\n
Edna Ferber – [New World<\/a>]<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Roast Beef, medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. Seated at Life's Dining Table, with the menu of Morals before you, your eye wanders a bit over the entrTes, the hors d'oeuvres, and the things a la though you know that Roast Beef, medium, is safe and sane, and sure.<\/div>\n
Edna Ferber – [Food and Eating<\/a>]<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
Wasn't marriage, like life, unstimulating and unprofitable and somewhat empty when too well ordered and protected and guarded? Wasn't it finer, more splendid, more nourishing, when it was, like life itself, a mixture of the sordid and the magnificent; of mud and stars; of earth and flowers; of love and hate and laughter and tears and ugliness and beauty and hurt?<\/div>\n
Edna Ferber – [Marriage<\/a>]<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
Writers should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight.<\/div>\n
