George Eliot: Errors look so...

Source: NOVELISTS

Errors look so very ugly in persons of small means --one feels they are taking quite a liberty in going astray; whereas people of fortune may naturally indulge in a few delinquencies.

-- George Eliot, (Nov 22 1819-1880), English novelist; Mary Ann Evans was the foremost woman novelist of her time, e.g., Silas Marner, 1861.
