“Profoundly grateful, and as if I had swallowed a small baby. … Why, they are perfect beasts of oysters!”
— Thackeray's reply when asked how he felt upon eating an unusually large American oyster during his first visit to the United States (1852–3); reported in James Grant Wilson, Thackeray in the United States: 1852–3, 1855–6 (New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1904), pp. 81–82.
“He who meanly admires mean things is a Snob.”
— Ch. 2: "The Snob Royal"
“As the gambler said of his dice, to love and win is the best thing, to love and lose is the next best.”
— Ch. 40.
“The wicked are wicked, no doubt, and they go astray and they fall, and they come by their deserts: but who can tell the mischief which the very virtuous do?”
— Ch. 20.
“Next to the very young, I suppose the very old are the most selfish.”
— Ch. 61.
“Those who are gone, you have. Those who departed loving you, love you still; and you love them always. They are not really gone, those dear hearts and true; they are only gone into the next room: and you will presently get up and follow them, and yonder door will close upon you, and you will no more be seen.”
— "On Letts's Diary", p. 292.
