from Jane Austen, or The Secret of Style
"...if we could even imagine an Austen character with no right to exhibit a ring, earring, broach, bracelet, necklace, chain, cross, seal, miniature, or any of the other ornaments and trinkets that flood the represented social field, this unfortunate would be suffering as radical a deprivation as our own bourgeoisie fears for children whose parents haven't videotaped them." — D.A. Miller
