Parenthood Is Not An Object Of Appetite

What A Man Is Ashamed Of Is Always At Bottom Himself; And He Is Ashamed Of Himself At Bottom Always For Being Afraid.

Classical Art Stands For Form; Romantic Art For Content.

Parenthood Is Not An Object Of Appetite Or Even Desire. It Is An Object Of Will. There Is No Appetite For Parenthood; There Is Only A Purpose Or Intention Of Parenthood.

There Is No Truer And More Abiding Happiness Than The Knowledge That One Is Free To Go On Doing, Day By Day, The Best Work One Can Do, ... , And That This Work Is Absorbed By A Steady Market And Thus Supports One's Own Life ... Perfect Freedom Is Reserved For The Man Who Lives By His Own Work And In That Work Does What He Wants To Do.
