Stella: "I wish someone would explain how it is that a dab of powder can in the twinkling of an eye reduce a woman's nose from an unwieldy lump to a dear little thing that no one can deny is her best feature." (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Sacred Flame’, act I) — Стелла: "Как мне хочется, чтобы кто-нибудь объяснил, почему облачко пудры в мгновение ока превращает нос женщины из бесформенной шишки в очаровательную пуговку, а ведь никто не станет отрицать, что носик женщины - ее главное украшение."
