Vida Dutton Scudder quotes:

Luxury, like a minimum wage, is a relationship; it changes as we change.

The worst danger of the mystic is as always a quest of spiritual privilege leading to aloofness from the common lot.

An element of abstention, of restraint, must enter into all finer joys.

It is through creating, not possessing, that life is revealed.

Reality, like beauty, is in relationship and there only.

the suppression of war is not the equivalent of peace.

war to win peace is at best a dangerously illogical method.
