““Because I couldn’t find a food which I enjoyed. If had found that, believe me, I would not have made a spectacle of myself and would have eaten to my heart’s content, like you and everyone else.” Those were his last words, but in his failing eyes there was the firm, if no longer proud, conviction that he was continuing to fast.” ”

Book V • Marcus Aurelius““Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.””

The reason is that pregnancy is in a certain sense a cancellation of the guilt incurred by coitus; thus coitus bears all the shame and disgrace of the affair, while pregnancy, which is so intimately associated with it, stays pure and innocent and is indeed to some extent sacred.”
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“But there certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are pretty women to deserve them.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen
