Book: An unsuitable occupation for women

The secret of contentment is never to allow yourself to want something that you like tells you his mind, still not able to.

Beauty throws the mind into confusion: it is contrary to common sense. Could never agree that Isabel is what she is: generous, lazy, loving and silly young woman. Thought every woman of her beauty certainly has a sort of instinctive penetration into the mysteries of life, access to such wisdom, inaccessible to the simple mind. Whenever she opened her beautiful mouth, I waited for her to paint life in the magical paint. I guess I could spend with her all my life, just looking at her and waiting for the prophecies. And she's only capable of talking about rags.

Never lie unnecessarily; the truth is a powerful weapon.

- Love! The most hackneyed word in the language! Is there anything besides the sentimental meaning that you put in it? What do you mean by saying the word "love"? What people ought to learn to live side by side, caring about the satisfaction of each other? So the law says. Next to this fundamental Declaration of common sense is all other philosophy, no more than a metaphysical abstraction. Or you understand love in the Christian sense, as mercy? Read the story, miss grey. See to what horrors, atrocities, hatred, oppression has brought humanity a religion of love! But maybe you prefer a more feminine, more individual definition - love is like a passionate attachment to the personality of another person? Strong personal attachment always ends in jealousy and enslavement. Love is a more destructive emotion than hate. If you are itching to dedicate something to my life, dedicate her idea.
- Speaking of "love", I mean the love of a parent to the child.
Is the worst and for both of them. But if you don't, no force in the world can't force to love. And where there is no love, no responsibilities associated with love.

Perhaps only when a person dies, we can afford to demonstrate the extent of its attachment to him. Only then we worry that he does not use it.

... all beautiful women should be nerve - how else can they survive? Beauty is something fragile, ephemeral, vulnerable. Sensitivity Isabelle needed protection. For people with strong nerves do not need child care.

If you do not love the child, you will never get love from him.

We can't force to love ourselves as we would like.

If the man was good with one woman, he will be no worse than the other.
