You will not find science annihilating personality from the government of the Universe and making of God as ungovernable, unintell...igible, blind, often destructive physical force; you will not find jurisprudence formulating as an axiom the absurdity that man and wife are one, and that one the man--that the married woman may not hold or bequeath her own property save as subject to her husband's direction; you will not find political economists declaring that the only possible adjustment between laborers and capitalists is that of selfishness and rapacity--that each must get all he can and keep all that he gets, while the world cries laissez faire and the lawyers explain, "it is the beautiful working of the law of supply and demand;" in fine, you will not find the law of love shut out from the affairs of men after the feminine half of the world's truth is completed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I knew very well that this hope was chimerical. I was like a pauper who mingles fewer tears with his dry bread if he tells himself... that at any moment a stranger will bequeath to him his fortune.
