Quote by Marie Corelli

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon and a cat that comes home late at night.

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets

Summary

In this quote, the speaker humorously suggests that they have found companionship and amusement through their three pets, to the extent that they don't feel the need for a human spouse. Each of their pets fulfills a different role: the dog serves as an alarm and protector, the parrot provides continuous entertainment with its swearing, and the cat embodies independence by returning home late. This lighthearted statement highlights the speaker's contentment with the company and characteristics of their pets.

It cannot suffice to invent new machines, new regulations, new institutions. It is necessary to change and improve our understanding of the true purpose of what we are and what we do in the world. Only such a new understanding will allow us to develop new models of behavior, new scales of values and goals, and thereby invest the global regulations, treaties and institutions with a new spirit and meaning.

He who thinks and thinks for himself, will always have a claim to thanks; it is no matter whether it be right or wrong, so as it be explicit. If it is right, it will serve as a guide to direct; if wrong, as a beacon to warn.
