Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of having an open mind in order for one's mental abilities to be fully utilized. Similar to how a parachute only works when it is open and allowing the air to flow through, our minds can only function effectively when they are receptive to new ideas, perspectives, and knowledge. By staying open-minded, we are able to learn, grow, and adapt to different situations and experiences, ultimately expanding our understanding and fostering personal and intellectual development.

Catastrophes come when some dominant institution, swollen like a soap-bubble and still standing without foundations, suddenly crumbles at the touch of what may seem a word or an idea, but is really some stronger material force.

A mutual and satisfied sexual act is of great benefit to the average woman, the magnetism of it is health giving. When it is not desired on the part of the woman and she gives no response, it should not take place. The submission of her body without love or desire is degrading to the woman's finer sensibility, all the marriage certificates on earth to the contrary notwithstanding.
