Quotations of the Day
"It is easy to be humble when a greater is preferred; but when an inferior is lifted high above our heads, how can we bear it?"
Anne (1882)
"She always says she dislikes the abnormal, it is so obvious. She says the normal is so much more simply complicated and interesting."
The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933)"Except two breeds — the stupid and the narrowly feline — all women have a touch of the Lesbian: an assertion all good non-analytic creatures refute with horror, but quite true: there is always the poignant intensive personal taste, the flair of inner-sex, in the tenderest friendships of women."
I, Mary MacLane: A Diary of Human Days (1917)"What harm is there in dreaming, if it eases pain? What good is reality, if it blots out hope? Can a man’s mind be washed without bleaching his soul?"
Spring Moon: A Novel of China (1981)"There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another. This conception is a potent menance to social regeneration. All human experience teaches that methods and means cannot be separated from the ultimate aim."
My Disillusionment in Russia (1923)"… there is no creature whose inward being is so strong that it is not greatly determined by what lies outside it."
Middlemarch (1871)"O, ye who visit the distressed, do ye know that everything your money can buy, given with a cold, averted face, is not worth one honest tear shed in real sympathy?"
Uncle Tom's Cabin (1856)
