What I learned constructive about women, not just ethics like never blame them if they pox you because somebody poxed them and lots of times they don't even know they have it — that's in the first reader for squares — is, no matter how they get, always think of them the way they were on the best day they ever had.

When you work hard all day with your head and know you must work again the next day what else can change your ideas and make them run on a different plane like whisky?

For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority, just cause, right motive.

But after I got them to leave and shut the door and turned off the light it wasn't any good. It was like saying good-by to a statue. After a while I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain.
