“Society knows perfectly well how to kill a man and has methods more subtle than death.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.”
Northanger Abbey • Jane Austen“What man can pretend to know the riddle of a woman's mind?”

The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
