    Pleasure is Nature’s test, her sign of approval. When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment.

    The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.
