“Adultery is in most cases a theft in the dark. At such moments almost every woman betrays her husband's innermost secrets; becomes a Delilah who discloses to a stranger, discloses to her lover, the mysteries of her husband's strength or weakness. What seems to me treason is, not that women give themselves, but that a woman is prone, when she does so, to justify herself to herself by uncovering her husband's nakedness, exposing it to the inquisitive and scornful gaze of a stranger.” GivingDoeMomentsSeemsDarkSecretCasesMysteryLoversHusbandWeaknessStrangerJustifyBetrayAdulteryTheftTreasonExposingInquisitiveUncovering Book:Stories and Legends Source: Stories and Legends
“The concept of 'Momism' is male nonsense. It is the refuge of a man seeking excuses for his own lack of virility. I have listened to many women in various countries, and I have never found a woman who willingly 'mothers' her husband. The very idea is repulsive to her. She wants to mother the children while they are young, but never their fathers. True, she may be forced into the role of mother by a man's weaknesses and childishness, and then she accepts the role with dignity and patience, or with anger and impatience, but always with a secret, profound sadness unexpressed and inexpressible.” MenWantMayChildrenIdeasCountryYoungMotherFoundFatherSecretAcceptingRolesSadnessHusbandWeaknessConceptsDignityProfoundMalesSeekingVariousExcuseNonsenseRefugeImpatienceChildishnessProfound Sadness Author:Pearl S.

“An entirely new factor has appeared in the social development of the country, and this factor is the Irish-American, and his influence. To mature its powers, to concentrate its action, to learn the secret of its own strength and of England's weakness, the Celtic intellect has had to cross the Atlantic. At home it had but learned the pathetic weakness of nationality; in a strange land it realised what indomitable forces nationality possesses. What captivity was to the Jews, exile has been to the Irish: America and American influence have educated them.” Has BeensCountryHomeActionAmericaForceSocialSecretInfluenceLandStrangeDevelopmentWeaknessCrossesEnglandJewIntellectFactorsEducatedMatureExilePatheticNationalityRealisedSocial DevelopmentCaptivityCelticIndomitable Author:Oscar Wilde
