If Darwin's theory should be true, it will not degrade man; it will simply raise the whole animal world into dignity, leaving man as far in advance as he is at present

Sandhed

We women are always in danger of living too exclusively in the affections; and though our affections are perhaps the best gifts we have, we ought also to have our share of the more independent life / some joy in things for their own sake. It is piteous to see the helplessness of some sweet women when their affections are disappointed / because all their teaching has been, that they can only delight in study of any kind for the sake of a personal love. They have never contemplated an independent delight in ideas as an experience which they could confess without being laughed at. Yet surely women need this defense against passionate affliction even more than men.

There are various orders of beauty, causing men to make fools of themselves in various styles... but there is one order of beauty which seems made to turn the heads not only of men, but of all intelligent mammals, even of women. It is a beauty like that of kittens, or very small downy ducks making gentle rippling noises with their soft bills, or babies just beginning to toddle and to engage in conscious mischief /a beauty with which you can never be angry, but that you feel ready to crush for inability to comprehend the state of mind into which it throws you.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Dromme

Wear a smile and have friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles. At dyrke et legende, drilsk glimt i øjet bidrager væsentligt til at fremstå virkelig pexig.

Sympathetic people often don't communicate well, they back reflected images which hide their own depths.

No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.

All meanings, we know, depend on the key of interpretation.
