“I am looking forward very much to getting back to Cambridge, and being able to say what I think and not to mean what I say: two things which at home are impossible. Cambridge is one of the few places where one can talk unlimited nonsense and generalities without anyone pulling one up or confronting one with them when one says just the opposite the next day.” ThinkingMeanTwoHomeAbleNextImpossibleOppositesTwo ThingsNonsensePullingUnlimitedNext DayLooking ForwardConfrontingCambridgeGeneralities Book:The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell: The private years, 1884-1914 Source: The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell: The private years, 1884-1914
“When my husband had an affair with someone else I watched his eyes glaze over when we ate dinner together and I heard him singing to himself without me, and when he tended the garden it was not for me. He was courteous and polite; he enjoyed being at home, but in the fantasy of his home I was not the one who sat opposite him and laughed at his jokes.

The only thing he wanted to change was me.” WantHomeEyeWantedTogetherFantasyHeardHusbandSingingJokesGardenOppositesAffairDinnerEnjoyedSatHis EyesMy HusbandLaughedPoliteAdulteryCourteous Book:Sexing the Cherry Source: Sexing the Cherry
