While Any One Is Base, None Can

Certainly I Do Not Wish That Instead Of These Masters I Had Read Baby Books, Written Down To Children, And With Such Ignorant Dullness That They Blunt The Sense And Corrupt The Tastes Of The Still Plastic Human Being. But I Do Wish That I Had Read No Books At All Till Later - That I Had Lived With Toys, And Played In The Open Air. Children Should Not Cull The Fruits Of Reflection And Observation Early, But Expand In The Sun, And Let Thoughts Come To Them. They Should Not Through Books Antedate Their Actual Experiences.

It Should Be Remarked That, As The Principle Of Liberty Is Better Understood, And More Nobly Interpreted, A Broader Protest Is Made In Behalf Of Women. As Men Become Aware That Few Have Had A Fair Chance, They Are Inclined To Say That No Women Have Had A Fair Chance.

A House Is No Home Unless It Contains Food And Fire For The Mind As Well As For The Body. For Human Beings Are Not So Constituted That They Can Live Without Expansion. If They Do Not Get It In One Way, They Must In Another, Or Perish.

I Am Suffocated And Lost When I Have Not The Bright Feeling Of Progression.

Beware The Mediocrity That Threatens Middle Age, Its Limitation Of Thought And Interest, Its Dullness Of Fancy, Its Too External Life, And Mental Thinness.
