Scullery Quotes

You are so careful of your boy's morals, knowing how troublesome they may be, that you keep him away from the Venus of Milo only to find him in the arms of the scullery maid or someone much worse. You decide that the Hermes of Praxiteles and Wagner's Tristan are not suited for young girls; and your daughter marries somebody appallingly unlike either Hermes or Tristan solely to escape from your parental protection. You have not stifled a single passion nor averted a single danger: you have depraved the passions by starving them, and broken down all the defences which so effectively protect children brought up in freedom. (George Bernard Shaw)
I recently researched my family tree, and quite quickly labels of class are smudged into nonsense. For a couple of generations back, it's all very proletariat in every direction-Bethnal Green bottle-makers and jobs that belong in Dickens. But with the generational doubling that occurs, before too long it's a muddle of all manner of colliding types: scullery maids and sculptors, officers and gentlemen. View quote

Ah, Caroline Brine - with your aversion to bohemians and homosexuals, students and foreigners, with your lacerated womb and scullery rat's brain, with your phosphorescent dildos and potted African violets, haunted by the ghost of your aborted baby and contaminated by envy, you freckled, you artificially tanned, you stupefyingly bland and vicious mediocrity - even after all these years, I still detest you.
