• The art of flirtation is dying. A man and woman are either in love these days or just friends.

• Desolate--Life is so dreary and desolate--
  Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle,
  Yet with itself every soul standeth single,
  Deep out of sympathy moaning its moan--
  Holding and having its brief exultation--
  Making its lonesome and low lamentation--
  Fighting its terrible conflicts alone.

It may then fairly be inferred, that, till society be differently constituted, much cannot be expected from education.

• There needs to be bolder thinking, ... on how to measure the quality of life of men and women in the work force. Currently, success is measured by material advancements.

• No two on earth in all things can agree;
  All have some darling singularity;
  Women and men, as well as girls and boys,
  In gewgaws take delight, and sigh for toys,
  Your sceptres and your crowns, and such like things,
  Are but a better kind of toys for kings.
  In things indifferent reason bids us choose,
  Whether the whim's a monkey or a muse.
