~ ~ ~ Sentence 36 ~ ~ ~
The heroine she impersonates is not allowed to discuss the elemental relations of men and women: all her romantic twaddle about novelet-made love, all her purely legal dilemmas as to whether she was married or "betrayed," quite miss our hearts and worry our minds.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 294 ~ ~ ~
Richard III, too, is delightful as the whimsical comedian who stops a funeral to make love to the corpse's widow; but when, in the next act, he is replaced by a stage villain who smothers babies and offs with people's heads, we are revolted at the imposture and repudiate the changeling.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 308 ~ ~ ~
All the rest is at worst mere misfortune or mortality: this alone is misery, slavery, hell on earth; and the revolt against it is the only force that offers a man's work to the poor artist, whom our personally minded rich people would so willingly employ as pandar, buffoon, beauty monger, sentimentalizer and the like.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,325 ~ ~ ~
Tavy: don't you be a selfish ass.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,200 ~ ~ ~
[patting him on the back] Bear it like a man, Tavy, even if you feel it like an ass.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,185 ~ ~ ~
This ass, when he was not lying about me, was maundering about some woman whom he saw once in the street.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,209 ~ ~ ~
There are limits to what a mule or an ass will stand; but Man will suffer himself to be degraded until his vileness becomes so loathsome to his oppressors that they themselves are forced to reform it.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,698 ~ ~ ~
Oh, damn your sophistries!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 6,182 ~ ~ ~
The young men will scorn me as one who has sold out: to the young women I, who have always been an enigma and a possibility, shall be merely somebody else's property--and damaged goods at that: a secondhand man at best.
