The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.

Summary

This quote by Pablo Picasso implies that adhering to conventional wisdom and conformity can stifle creativity. According to Picasso, "good" sense, which refers to societal norms and established rules, limits our ability to think outside the box and express ourselves creatively. To be truly creative, one must challenge the status quo and be willing to break free from restrictions imposed by society. Picasso suggests that true innovation comes from embracing our innate sense of curiosity and embracing unconventional ideas and approaches. By disregarding "good" sense, we open ourselves up to new and unique possibilities for creative expression.

Rome was mud and smoky skies; the rank smell of the Tiber and the exotically spiced cooking fires of a hundred different nationalities. Rome was white marble and gilding and heady perfumes; the blare of trumpets and the shrieking of market-women and the eternal, sub-aural hum of more people, speaking more languages than Gaius had ever imagined existed, crammed together on seven hills whose contours had long ago disappeared beneath this encrustation if humanity. Rome was the pulsing heart of the world.

You all know that even when women have full rights, they still remain fatally downtrodden because all housework is left to them. In most cases housework is the most unproductive, the most barbarous and the most arduous work a woman can do. It is exceptionally petty and does not include anything that would in any way promote the development of the woman.
