“There is a thing called knowledge of the world, which people do not have until they are middle-aged. It is something which cannot be taught to younger people, because it is not logical and does not obey laws which are constant. It has no rules. Only, in the long years which bring women to the middle of life, a sense of balance develops...when she is beginning to hate her used body, she suddenly finds that she can do it. She can go on living.” PeopleWorldYearsLongDoeBodyLawUsedHateCan DoMiddleTaughtGoes OnBalanceConstantLogicalMiddle AgedKnowledge Of The WorldHate Her Author:T. H. White
“But there was a time when each of us stood naked before the world, confronting life as a serious problem with which we were intimately and passionately concerned...
