Life Is A Theatre Of

The More Developed Sexual Passion, In Both Sexes, Is Very Largely An Emotion Of Power, Domination, Or Appropriation. There Is No State Of Feeling That Says Mine, Mine, More Fiercely.

There Is No Way To Penetrate The Surface Of Life But By Attacking It Earnestly At A Particular Point.

Kindliness Seems To Exist Primarily As An Animal Instinct, So Deeply Rooted That Mental Degeneracy, Which Works From The Top Down,does Not Destroy It Until The Mind Sinks To The Lower Grades Of Idiocy.

There Is Perhaps No Sort Of Self More Subject To Dangerous Egotism Than That Which Deludes Itself With The Notion That It Is Not A Self At All, But Something Else. It Is Well To Beware Of Persons Who Believe That The Cause, The Mission, The Philanthropy, The Hero, Or Whatever It May Be That They Strive For, Is Outside Of Themselves, So That They Feel A Certain Irresponsibility, And Are Likely To Do Things Which They Would Recognize As Wrong If Done In Behalf Of An Acknowledged Self.

Unless A Capacity For Thinking Be Accompanied By A Capacity For Action, A Superior Mind Exists In Torture.
