Enemies
Men and women are natural enemies, like cat and dog--only more so. They are forced to live together for a time, or this wonderful race couldn't go on.

Enemies
My private affairs are no concern of society's. Conventions are only made to be broken. Why shouldn't I have my own way of breaking them?
NEITH BOYCE
The Bond
Marriage was very simple. You married a person you liked, and did just as you liked, exactly as before; and the person adored you, and even if he lost his temper sometimes over a beefsteak, or a missing shirt, he was still the most charming person in the world.
NEITH BOYCE
The Bond
One year of my life stands out in memory, clear and perfect in every detail, incomparably vivid. The memory of other years is in the main vague and blurred, with only certain events, certain scenes in relief. But in the time of which I speak all experience drew together for me in a full pouring stream, and reached its height and its depth--and perhaps its goal. I knew the deepest joy--poignant, trembling into pain, yet profoundly at rest, too, with the sense of fulfillment. Life can give no more.
