Love cannot exists as a duty; to tell a child that it ought to love its parents and its brother and sisters is utterly useless, if not worse.

My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race.

The essence of education is that it is a change effected in the organism to satisfy the operator.

Affection cannot be created; it can only be liberated.

Thomas Aquinas states parenthetically, as something entirely obvious, that men are more rational than women. For my part, I see no evidence of this.

For my part I distrust all generalizations about women, favorable and unfavorable, masculine and feminine, ancient and modern; all alike, I should say, result from paucity of experience.

We have almost reached the point where praise of rationality is held to mark a man as an old fogey regrettably surviving from a bygone age.
