In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience. All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his. The soul is born old but grows young. That is the comedy of life. And the body is born young and grows old. That is life's tragedy. There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. There is luxury in self reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel no one else has a right to blame us. There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love. There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating; people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing. The worst form of tyranny the world has ever known the tyranny of the weak over the strong. It is the only tyranny that lasts. The well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves. The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation. |
