It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system.

The more a race is governed by its passions, the less it has acquired the habit of cautious and reasoned argument, the more intense will be its love of music. ↗

Women and birds are able to see without turning their heads, and that is indeed a necessary provision for they are both surrounded by enemies. ↗
