When reality hits dream

I advise those little girls who love fantasy not to fantasize about what kind of blessings they must suffer when they enter the upper class. God is fair, and there is nothing to gain for nothing. The fact that the sparrow turns into a phoenix only exists in fairy tales. Only when you are strong will you not be looked down upon by others. If you want to marry a rich man, you must first see if you can make the rich man look up to you. You only know how to spend money and not have any real skills. Who would keep a fool at home. Not even if you have a million fortune.

My Fair Lady quotes

  • Professor Henry Higgins: Eliza, you are to stay here for the next six months, learning to speak beautifully, like a lady in a florist's shop. If you work hard and do as you're told, you shall sleep in a proper bedroom, have lots to eat, and money to buy chocolates and go for rides in taxis. But if you are naughty and idle, you shall sleep in the back kitchen amongst the black beetles, and be walloped by Mrs. Pearce with a broomstick. At the end of six months you will be taken to Buckingham Palace, in a carriage, beautifully dressed. If the king finds out you are not a lady, you will be taken to the Tower of London, where your head will be cut off as a warning to other presumptuous flower girls! But if you are not found out, you shall have a present... of, ah... seven and six to start life with as a lady in a shop. If you refuse this offer, you will be the most ungrateful, wicked girl, and the angels will weep for you.

  • Eliza Doolittle: [singing] Lots of chocolate for me to eat! / Lots of coal makin' lots of heat / Warm face, warm hands, warm feet / Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
