God and the Devil
God and the Devil are an effort after specialisation and division of
labour.
Sex
The sexes are the first--or are among the first great experiments in
the social subdivision of labour.
Women
If you choose to insist on the analogies and points of resemblance
between men and women, they are so great that the differences seem
indeed small. If, on the other hand, you are in a mood for
emphasising the points of difference, you can show that men and women
have hardly anything in common. And so with anything: if a man
wants to make a case he can generally find a way of doing so.
Offers of Marriage
Women sometimes say that they have had no offers, and only wish that
some one had ever proposed to them. This is not the right way to put
it. What they should say is that though, like all women, they have
been proposing to men all their lives, yet they grieve to remember
that they have been invariably refused.
Marriage
i
The question of marriage or non-marriage is only the question of
whether it is better to be spoiled one way or another.
ii
In matrimony, to hesitate is sometimes to be saved.
iii
Inoculation, or a hair of the dog that is going to bite you--this
principle should be introduced in respect of marriage and
speculation.
Life and Love
To live is like to love--all reason is against it, and all healthy
instinct for it.
