Heroes exterminate each other for the benefit of people who are not heroes.
Havelock Ellis
The mathematician has reached the highest rung on the ladder of human thought.
Havelock Ellis
Here, where we reach the sphere of mathematics, we are among processes which seem to some the most inhuman of all human activities and the most remote from poetry. Yet it is here that the artist has the fullest scope of his imagination.
Havelock Ellis
Charm — which means the power to effect work without employing brute force — is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.
Havelock Ellis
All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
Havelock Ellis
Of woman as a real human being, with sexual needs and sexual responsibilities, morality has often known nothing.
Havelock Ellis
Reproduction is so primitive and fundamental a function of vital organisms that the mechanism by which it is assured is highly complex and not yet clearly understood. It is not necessarily connected with sex, nor is sex necessarily connected with reproduction.

Havelock Ellis
For every fresh stage in our lives we need a fresh education, and there is no stage for which so little educational preparation is made as that which follows the reproductive period.
Havelock Ellis
The family only represents one aspect, however important an aspect, of a human being's functions and activities. A life is beautiful and ideal or the reverse, only when we have taken into our consideration the social as well as the family relationship.
Havelock Ellis
No act can be quite so intimate as the sexual embrace.
Havelock Ellis
There is nothing that war has ever achieved that we could not better achieve without it.
Havelock Ellis
Birth-control is effecting, and promising to effect, many functions in our social life.
Havelock Ellis
Mankind is becoming a single unit, and that for a unit to fight against itself is suicide.
Havelock Ellis
Those persons who are burning to display heroism may rest assured that the course of social evolution will offer them every opportunity.
Havelock Ellis
The more rapidly a civilization progresses, the sooner it dies for another to rise in its place.
Havelock Ellis
All arguments are meaningless until we gain personal experience. One must win one's own place in the spiritual world painfully and alone. There is no other way of salvation. The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a wilderness.
Havelock Ellis
There has never been any country at every moment so virtuous and so wise that it has not sometimes needed to be saved from itself.
Havelock Ellis
The mother is really a more immediate parent than the father because one is born from the mother, and the first experience of any infant is the mother.
Havelock Ellis
The conflict of forces and the struggle of opposing wills are of the essence of our universe and alone hold it together.
Havelock Ellis
