 God is for men and religion is for women

 Going home must be like going to render an account.

 Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.

 Hang ideas! They are tramps, vagabonds, knocking at the back-door of your mind, each taking a little of your substance, each carrying away some crumb of that belief in a few simple notions you must cling to if you want to live decently and would like to die easy!

 He remembered that she was pretty, and, more, that she had a special grace in the intimacy of life. She had the secret of individuality which excites--and escapes.

 He was obeyed, yet he inspired neither love nor fear, nor even respect. He inspired uneasiness. That was it!
