She had seen enough to suspect that the world was a more complicate system than she had preconceived. There was not that strong and rude simplicity in its organization which she had supposed. The characters were more various, the motives more mixed, the classes more blended, the elements of each more subtle and diversified, than she had imagined...The consequences had outlived the causes, as costumes survives opinions.
Sybil, Disraeli
