Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“The gentleman lolling back in the chaise was neither dashingly handsome nor yet unbearably ugly, neither too stout nor yet too thin; it could not be claimed he was old but he was no stripling, either.

The Neurotic Personality Of Our Time • Karen Horney
