Quotes

• “Women, like men, ought to have their years so glutted with freedom that they hate the very idea of freedom.”
• “Of course I have no right whatsoever to write down the truth about my life involving as it naturally does the lives of so many other people, but I do so urged by a necessity of truth-telling, because there is no living soul who knows the complete truth; here, may be one who knows a section; and there, one who knows another section: but to the whole picture not one is initiated.”
• “A man and his tools make a man and his trade.”
• “A man and his land make a man and his creed.”
• “A man and his loves make a man and his life.”
• “The dusk is heavy with the wine's warm load; Here the long sense of classic measure cures The spirit weary of its difficult pain; Here the old Bacchic piety endures, Here the sweet legends of the world remain.”
