Marriage is hardly a thing one can do now and then, except in America.
Conscience makes egotists of us all.
I want to be good. I can't bear the idea of my soul being hideous.
When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.
The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happy married life.
