Men become accustomed to poison by degrees.
I have been loving you a little more every minute since this morning.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!
The owl goes not into the nest of the lark.
Civil war.... What did the words mean? Was there any such thing as "foreign war"? Was not all warfare between men warfare between brothers?
