When men are easy in their circumstances, they are naturally enemies to innovations.

Talking isn’t doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds.

In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.

I have found men to be more kind than I expected, and less just.

As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!

I think it is the height of ignorance to believe that the sexual act is an independent function necessary like sleeping or eating. Seeing, therefore, that I did not desire more children, I began to strive after self-control. There was endless difficulty in the task.

But behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.
