Quotations

"The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated. I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins because he always treats me as a flower girl, and always will; but I know I can be a lady to you because you always treat me as a lady and always will."
Eliza Doolittle, character in 'Pygmalion' by George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
