Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.
Mary Wollstonecraft
“Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.”

Quotations
A mistress should be like a little country retreat near the town, not to dwell in constantly, but only for a night and away.
Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.
I have heard people eat most heartily of another man's meat, that is, what they do not pay for.
Women of quality are so civil, you can hardly distinguish love from good breeding.
Mistresses are like books; if you pore upon them too much, they doze you and make you unfit for company; but if used discreetly, you are the fitter for conversation by 'em.
Marrying to increase love is like gaming to become rich; alas, you only lose what little stock you had before.
Your women of honour, as you call'em, are only chary of their reputations, not their persons; and 'tis scandal that they would avoid, not men.
He's a fool that marries, but he's a greater that does not marry a fool; what is wit in a wife good for, but to make a man a cuckold?
Women serve but to keep a man from better company.

I'm not going to work for peace, anymore. There isn't going to be any peace.

I hate journalists. There is nothing in them but tittering jeering emptiness. They have all made what Dante calls the Great Refusal. The shallowest people on the ridge of the earth
W B Yeats
When it was over, it was not really over, and that was the trouble.

I never doubted my ability, but when you hear all your life you're inferior, it makes you wonder if the other guys have something you've never seen before. If they do, I'm still looking for it.

― John Lennon

"'I'm for the poor man — all poor men, black and white, they all gotta have a chance. They gotta have a home, a job, and a decent education for their children. 'Every man a king' — that's my slogan'."
--Huey Long quoted in HUEY LONG (1969), by T. Harry Williams...
“I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.”
― George S. McGovern
“Popular culture is a place where pity is called compassion, flattery is called love, propaganda is called knowledge, tension is called peace, gossip is called news, and auto-tune is called singing.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy
“It is my conviction that there is no way to peace - peace is the way.”

― Victor Hugo, The Toilers of the Sea
“It is the oldest ironies that are still the most satisfying: man, when preparing for bloody war, will orate loudly and most eloquently in the name of peace.”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen
"What does the money machine eat?
It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty,
and, above all, it eats creativity.
It eats quality
and sh*ts quantity."
William S. Burroughs
