the love of man and woman at its best is free and fearless, compounded of body and mind in equal proportions; not dreading the physical basis lest it should interfere with the idealisation.

if a woman is actively unhappy in her marriage-and this, after all is by no means an uncommon occurrence-her unhappiness makes it very difficult for her to have the right kind of emotional poise in dealing with her children.

a happy woman is likely to be a better mother than an unhappy one. no woman, however, can make sure of being always happy, and at times of unhappiness acertain amount of self-control may be necessary to avoid demanding too much of childern. this degree of self-control is not very difficult to practice...

love must feel the ego of the beloved person as important as one's own ego, and must realise the other's feelings and wishes as though they were one's own.

whatever the dangers and difficulties .. we must be content to let the world go forward rather than back.
