“Marriage is like a war. There are moments of chivalry and gallantry that attend the victorious advances and strategic retreats, the birth or death of children, the momentary conquest of loneliness, the sacrifice that ennobles him who makes it. But mostly there are the long dull sieges, the waiting, the terror and boredom. Women understand this better than men; they are better able to survive attrition.”

“The women’s movement warned every girl how marriage can seduce her to make a sacrifice of her career. But no one warned every boy how marriage can seduce him to make a sacrifice in his career.”

“Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without vicory there is no survival.”

“The advance of freedom is the surest strategy to undermine the appeal of terror in the world. Where freedom takes hold, hatred gives way to hope. When freedom takes hold, men and women turn to the peaceful pursuit of a better life.”

“The women giving birth, who I respect as mothers, were militants who were active in the machine of terror… Many used their unborn children as human shields.”

“At this very moment enormous numbers of intelligent men and women of goodwill are trying to build a better world. But problems are born faster than they can be solved.”

“People who don’t read are brutes. It is better to write than to make war, isn’t it?”

“Women run to extremes; they are either better or worse than men.”

“Sometimes Loneliness
is Better Than
A Fake Friend.”

“A Conquest, without facing dangers is as dull as Victory without a shining glory. A game without a prize!”
