Quotes: Post, Emily


There is no better way to cultivate taste in words, than by constantly reading the best English. None of the words and expressions which are taboo in good society will be found in books of proved literary standing. But it must not be forgotten that there can be a vast difference between literary standing and popularity, and that many of the “best sellers” have no literary merit whatsoever.
Emily Post
Etiquette (1922) - http://www.bartleby.com/95/8.html
