The general doctrine about knowledge which I sketched at the beginning of this section, which is the real bugbear underlying doctr...ines of the kind we have been discussing, is radically and in principle misconceived. [It] would be a mistake in principle to suppose that the same thing could be done for knowledge in general. And this is because there could be no general answer to the questions what is evidence for what, what is certain, what is doubtful, what needs or does not need evidence, can or can't be verified. If the Theory of Knowledge consists in finding grounds for such an answer, there is no such thing.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is to be lamented that the principle of national has had very little nourishment in our country, and, instead, has given place ...to sectional or state partialities. What more promising method for remedying this defect than by uniting American women of every state and every section in a common effort for our whole country.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Personally I think we're over-specialized. Why it's getting so we have experts who concentrate only on the lower section of a spec...imen's left ear.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Every man has been brought up with the idea that decent women don't pop in and out of bed; he has always been told by his mother t...hat "nice girls don't." He finds, of course, when he gets older that this may be untrue--but only in a certain section of society.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The American novel tends to rest in contradictions and among extreme ranges of experience. When it attempts to resolve contradicti...ons, it does so in oblique, morally equivocal ways. As a general rule, it does so either in melodramatic actions or in pastoral idylls, although intermixed with both one may find the stirring instabilities of "American humor." These qualities constitute the uniqueness of that branch of the novelistic tradi tion which has flourished in this country. They help to account for the strong element of "romance" in the American "novel." By contrast, the English novel has followed a middle way. It is notable for its great practical sanity, its powerful, engrossing composition of wide ranges of experience into a moral centrality and equability of judgment. Oddity, distortion of personality, dislocations of normal life, recklessness of behavior--these the English novel has included. Yet the profound poetry of disorder we find in the American novel is missing, with rare exceptions, from the English.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it--an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it;... a point of view.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Besides, our action on each other, good as well as evil, is so incidental and at random, that we can seldom hear the acknowledgmen...ts of any person who would thank us for a benefit, without some shame and humiliation. We can rarely strike a direct stroke, but must be content with an oblique one; we seldom have the satisfaction of yielding a direct benefit, which is directly received.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
