“The rain is ever falling, drip, drip, drip, by day and night, upon the broad flagged terrace-pavement.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens“In particular, while natural selection favors both males and females that leave many offspring, the best strategy for doing so may be different for fathers and mothers. That generates a built-in conflict between the parents, a conclusion that all too many humans don’t need scientists to reveal to them. We make jokes about the battle of the sexes, but the battle is neither a joke nor an aberrant accident of how individual fathers or mothers behave on particular occasions. It is indeed perfectly true that behavior that is in a male’s genetic interests may not necessarily be in the interests of his female co-parent, and vice versa. That cruel fact is one of the fundamental causes of human misery.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond““And there is nothing wastes so rapidly as liberality, for even whilst you exercise it you lose the power to do so.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“How many, once lauded in song, are given over to the forgotten; and how many who sung their praises are clean gone long ago!”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius““No sooner therefore do you enter society, instead of living a life apart, than you are bound to consider its conditions binding; a contract is signed between you.””
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac
