My intercourse with him was the more beneficial, owing to his being of a different mental type from all other intellectual men whom I frequented, and he from the first set himself decidedly against the prejudices and narrownesses which are almost sure to be found in a young man formed by a particular mode of thought or a particular social circle.
He turned away up again to the window-seat crying: "Oh! This is unbearable." Ethel said quite calmly: "Is it? Your wife all over again, eh?"

"From what you've told me of your wife, SHE must be too."
One cannot make a good consumer without a really LIBERAL EDUCATION. For this reason it becomes necessary to resist certain narrownesses in certain phases of Home Economics. One of these narrownesses is the assumption that because a thing happens to be close to us it is therefore important.
Women are just as apt as men to be afflicted by the petty jealousies and narrownesses of the crude sexual impulse; women just as much as men need the perpetual sublimation of erotic desire into forms of more sincere purity, of larger harmony, in gaining which ends all the essential ends of morality are alone gained.
All particular convictions, all definite principles, all clear-cut formulas and fixed ideas, are but prejudices, useful in practice, but still narrownesses of the mind. The absolute in detail is absurd and contradictory. All political, religious, aesthetic, or literary parties are protuberances, misgrowths of thought.
