Quotes by Danielle Dutton

I had rather be a meteor, single, alone.Plus Paris itself was noisome. Even with its glittering bridges and orangeries, even if the birthplace of ballet.I had rather been a meteor, than a star in a crowd.

Still, Antwerp, the parties, my husbands talks--all of it fed my mind. Id hardly set down my quill before I took it up again, writing stories unconnected--of a pimp, a virgin, a rogue--strung up like pearls on a thread. ... I am very ambitious, yet tis neither for Beauty, Wit, Titles, Wealth, or Power, but as they are steps to raise me to Fames Tower.O minor victory! O small delight! My star began to rise.
