Quote by Daphne du Maurier

Women want love to be a novel, men a short story.

Women want love to be a novel, men a short story.

Summary

This quote suggests that women desire grand, elaborate, and intricate experiences of love, similar to the length and depth of a novel. For them, love should be explored like a complex narrative with rich character development and twists in the plot. On the other hand, men prefer love to be simplified and condensed, like a shorter story. They may lean towards concise and straightforward romantic encounters, focusing more on the outcome rather than the intricacies of the journey. This quote emphasizes the differing expectations and perspectives of men and women when it comes to romantic relationships.

Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children.
