“The veil deliberately marks women as private and restricted property, nonpersons. The veil sets women apart from men and apart from the world; it restrains them, confines them, grooms them for docility.

The old-fashioned date was a wonderful way to get acquainted with a member of the opposite sex. It encouraged conversation.

With a few fatal exceptions, bad food will only make you sick but do no permanent harm.

The brain won't vomit back filth. Once recorded, it will always remain subject to recall, flashing its perverted images across your mind and drawing you away from the wholesome things in life.”
