“Here is nature once more at her old game of self-preservation. This train of thought, she perceives, is threatening mere waste of energy, even some collision with reality, for who will ever be able to lift a finger against Whitaker’s Table of Precedency? The Archbishop of Canterbury is followed by the Lord High Chancellor; the Lord High Chancellor is followed by the Archbishop of York. Everybody follows somebody, such is the philosophy of Whitaker; and the great thing is to know who follows whom. Whitaker knows, and let that, so Nature counsels, comfort you, instead of enraging you; and if you can’t be comforted, if you must shatter this hour of peace, think of the mark on the wall.   11 I understand Nature’s game—her prompting to take action as a way of ending any thought that threatens to excite or to pain. Hence, I suppose, comes our slight contempt for men of action—men, we assume, who don’t think. Still, there’s no harm in putting a full stop to one’s disagreeable thoughts by looking at a mark on the wall.”

“It's one of my jobs to fret about his arteries, one of the many personal responsibilities that men subconsciously off-load onto their wives, not because they're all jerks but because that's just part of the labor agreement. Unmarried men, it's true, die fatter, younger, filthier, sadder, than their married friends, if they even have friends, because that's another thing a wife is responsible for, friends, except I'm a bust in that department, which is why I have to go extra hard on his arteries.”

“The first responsibility of a "liberated" woman is to lead the fullest, freest, and most imaginative life she can. The second responsibility is her solidarity with other women. She may life and work and make love with men. But she has no right to represent her situation as simpler, or less suspect, or less full of compromises than it really is. her good relations with men must not be bought at the price of betraying her sisters.”
