Lewis Mumford

A man who has the courage of his platitudes is always a successful man. The instructed man is ashamed to pronounce in an orphic manner what everybody knows, and because he is silent people think he is making fun of them. They like a man who expresses their own superficial thoughts in a manner that appears to be profound. This enables them to feel that they are themselves profound.

Van Wyck Brooks

The life of a plural wife, she'd found, was a life lived under constant comparison, a life spent wondering.

Which of us is his one true love? Who does he desire the most?
