Conventional Manners Are A Kind Of Literacy

You Can Be Slum-born And Slum-bred And Still Achieve Something Worth While; But It Is A Stupid Inverted Snobbishness To Be Proud Of It. If One Had A Right To Be Proud Of Anything, It Would Be Of A Continued Decent Tradition Back Of One.

Men Demand Everything And Are Not Satisfied Until Sex Blinds Them Into Thinking They Have Got It.

On The Whole, I Should Say That The Person Who Likes To Lie Should Never, In Any Circumstances, Be Allowed To. Leave The Lying To The People Who Hate It. You Will Not Find Them Indulging Often.

It Is Not Strange That Some Of Our Revoltes Preach Trial Marriage: For The Only Safe Way To Marry Them At All Would Be On Trial. Until You Had Definitely Experienced All The Human Situations With Them, You Would Have No Means Of Knowing How, In Any Given Situation, They Would Behave. They Might Conform About Evening-dress, And Throw Plates Between Courses; They Might Be Charming To Your Friends, And Ask The Waiter To Sit Down And Finish Dinner With You. Or They Might In All Things, Little And Big, Be Irreproachable. The Point Is That You Would Never Know.

Most Men Have Always Wanted As Much As They Could Get; And Possession Has Always Blunted The Fine Edge Of Their Altruism.
