You are not permitted to kill a woman who has wronged you but nothing forbids you to reflect that she is growing older every minute. You are avenged 1440 times a day.

Responsibility n: A detachable burden easily shifted to the shoulders of God Fate Fortune Luck or one's neighbour. In the days of astrology it was customary to unload it upon a star.

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves we are beautiful; in self-ignorance we are ugly.

I think that a young state like a young virgin should modestly stay at home and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich will in time be a great fortune and where she has a favorable predisposition it seems to me well worth cultivating.
