There is no instinct that has been so maligned, suppressed, abused, and distorted by religious teaching as the instinct of sex.

We want far better reasons for having children than not knowing how to prevent them.

Comfort is bought at too high a price.

Marriage laws, the police, armies and navies are the mark of human incompetence.

I read recently in an article by G.K. Chesterton, that sex without gestation and parturition is like blowing the trumpets and waving the flags without doing any of the fighting. From a woman such words, though displaying inexperience, might come with dignity; from a man they are an unforgivable, intolerable insult. What is man's part in sex but a perpetual waving of flags and blowing of trumpets and avoidance of the fighting?
