“One was kind, out of a bounty that could hardly be exhausted, to old governesses and gardeners, who could be relied upon to give thanks with proper abjection; one performed public duties, for which one was paid in full by deference; one was chaste, refusing to run away from one's husband with other men who for the most part did not ask one to do so, and who in any case had nothing better to offer than one's own home. Knowing no difficulties one was without fortitude; knowing no criteria but one's own achievements one was without taste.” MenGivingKindHomeRunningAsksCasesKnowingDutyTasteOffersHusbandAchievementDifficultyPaidThanksRunning AwayExhaustedFortitudeCriteriaGardenerChasteBountyDeferenceAbjectionPaid In Full Book:The Thinking Reed Source: The Thinking Reed

And so...keep alive the incentive to push on further, that pain in the soul which drives us beyond ourselves...Do not look back. And do not dream about the future, either.
