Everyone Wants Rather To Be Pleasing To Women And That Desire Is Not Altogether, Though It Is Very Largely, A Manifestation Of Vanity. But One Cannot Aim To Be Pleasing To Women Any More Than One Can Aim To Have Taste, Or Beauty Of Expression, Or Happiness; For These Things Are Not Specific Aims Which One May Learn To Attain; They Are Descriptions Of The Adequacy Of One's Living. To Try To Be Happy Is To Try To Build A Machine With No Other Specification Than That It Shall Run Noiselessly.
