Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"Ah, now you are pounding your favorite brass tack," Paula smiled.
"And Dar Hyal, with a few arm-wavings and word-whirrings, will show
that all brass tacks are illusions; and Terrence, that brass tacks are
sordid, irrelevant and non-essential things at best; and Hancock, that
the overhanging heaven of Bergson is paved with brass tacks, only that
they are a much superior article to yours; and Leo, that there is only
one brass tack in the universe, and that it is Beauty, and that it
isn't brass at all but gold."
