Horace Walpole
On one night of my debut the Prince of Wales, the Princess, and the duchess of London came to see me. They loved me for what I was and what I gave them.
Lillie Langtry
The earth is the earth as a peasant sees it, the world is the world as a duchess sees it, and anyway a duchess would be nothing if the earth was not there as the peasant sees it.
Gertrude Stein
Were it not for imagination a man would be as happy in arms of a chambermaid as of a duchess.
Samuel Johnson
