“Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastimeIm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man.

“Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“We all agree nowby we I mean intelligent people under sixtythat a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves.

—Clive Bell (18811962)
