Quotes

• “I know myself well enough to be positive that I couldn't have lived through a whole year, or even a whole week, without finding something enjoyable about being alive, some-thing that made it more than just surviving. And if it might seem that I have got Polly Adler confused with Pollyanna, I can only say that I am one of those people who just can't help getting a kick out of life — even when it's a kick in the teeth.”
• “Harold was tops as a cavalier; every day he sent me more gardenias than most people go to the grave with.”
• “What it comes down to is this: the grocer, the butcher, the baker, the merchant, the landlord, the druggist, the liquor dealer, the policeman, the doctor, the city father and the politician – these are the people who make money out of prostitution, these are the real reapers of the wages of sin.”
• “The women who take husbands not out of love but out of greed, to get their bills paid, to get a fine house and clothes and jewels; the women who marry to get out of a tiresome job, or to get away from disagreeable relatives, or to avoid being called an old maid — these are whores in everything but name. The only difference between them and my girls is that my girls gave a man his money's worth.”
• “Your heart often knows things before your mind does, and I think from this time on, psychologically speaking, I was already retired from the business I had been in so long.”
• “"I was just recalling the pet saying of an old madam named Vicki Shaw.""Oh? And what was that?""Too many cooks," I said glumly, "spoil the brothel."”
