“The most revolutionary invention of the Nineteenth Century was the artificial sterilization of marriage.”
“Most married couples spend the whole day apart, the woman in the house, the man in the office or study or workshop.”
“The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. Virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.”

“Memory is the diary that chronicles things that never have happened and couldn't possibly have happened.”
“Ahimsa (non-killing), truthfulness, purity, mercy, and godliness are always to be kept.”
“If one has to choose between reading the new books and reading the old, one must choose the old: not because they are necessarily better but because they contain precisely those truths of which our own age is neglectful.”
More on Society
“I don't really think that, as a society, we [americans] want to confer blessings on generation after generation who contribute nothing to society, simply because somebody in the far distant past happened to amass a great sum of wealth.”
“Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.”
“We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence... on pain of liquidation.”
