William Makepeace ThackerayIn a word, in adversity she was the best of comforters, in good fortune the most troublesome of friends...
About This Quote
Ophelia is known for her cutting wit and her ability to make light of any situation, but she is also known for her compassionate nature. She does not see the world in black and white, but in all its shades of grey. Ophelia’s cynical outlook on life makes her an excellent companion in the midst of difficulties, but she has a tendency to go overboard when it comes to comfort. When everything is going well, Ophelia is an excellent person to have by your side, but beware when things start to unravel.
