A community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurence of crime.

I think life too complex a thing to be settled by these hard and fast rules.

To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.

Life under a good government is rarely dramatic; life under a bad government is always so.

Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons.

Personally, I have a great admiration for stupidity.

I am sick of women who love one. Women who hate one are much more interesting.
