Quote by Oswald Spengler

“Of this economic Stoicism of the Classical world the exact antithesis is Socialism, meaning thereby not Marx's theory but Frederick William I's Prussian practice which long prededed Marx and will displace him – the socialism […] that comprehends and cares for permanent economic relations, trains the individual in his duty to the whole, and glorifies hard work as an affirmation of Time and Future.”

“Got your stuff?" Nora's checks flushed. "Um, yeah, but..." "What?" "My hand hurts so much, and I need two hands to do my button. Could you...um..." He furrowed his brow, unsure what she meant as she trailed off, blushing more now. Following her gaze, he glanced down at her pants.

"I've never put pants on a woman before, but I'll make an exception this time." "I appreciate your sacrifice," she said sarcastically, and Kane decided then and there that he wanted to see her smiling like that all the time.”
