There Are Inquiries Which Are A Sort

One Of The Reasons, Surely, Why Women Have Been Credited With Less Perfect Veracity Than Men Is That The Burden Of Conventional Falsehood Falls Chiefly On Them.

The Past Is Discredited Because It Is Not Modern. Not To Be Modern Is The Great Sin. So, Perhaps, It Is. But Every One Has, In His Day, Been Modern. And Surely Even Modernity Is A Poor Thing Beside Immortality. Since We Must All Die, Is It Not Perhaps Better To Be A Dead Lion Than A Living Dog?

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.

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

The Imagination Can Be Happy In Places Where The Whole Man Is Not.
