It is odd what notions men seem to have of the scantiness of a woman's resources.

Man is not by any means of fixed and enduring form (this, in spite of suspicions to the contrary on the part of their wise men, was the ideal of the ancients).

His innermost longing draws him back to nature, the mother. Between the two forces his life hangs tremulous and irresolute.
