Conventional Manners Are A Kind Of Literacy

Every One Knows About The Young Man Who Falls In Love With The Chorus-girl Because She Can Kick His Hat Off, And His Sister's Friends Can't Or Won't. But The Youth Who Marries Her, Expecting That All Her Departures From Convention Will Be As Agile Or As Delightful To Him As That, Is Still The Classic Example Of Folly.

There Are Inquiries Which Are A Sort Of Moral Burglary.

Do You See Any Majority, Anywhere, In This Imperfect And Irreligious World, Admitting That The Minority Is Precious? That Any Minority Is Precious?

The Only Glory Most Of Us Have To Hope For Is The Glory Of Being Normal.

The Past Is Discredited Because It Is Not Modern. Not To Be Modern Is The Great Sin. So, Perhaps, It Is. But Every One Has, In His Day, Been Modern. And Surely Even Modernity Is A Poor Thing Beside Immortality. Since We Must All Die, Is It Not Perhaps Better To Be A Dead Lion Than A Living Dog?
