Havelock Ellis
On the threshold of the moral world we meet the idea of Freedom, 'one of the weightiest concepts man has ever formed,' once a dogma, in the course of time a hypothesis, now in the eyes of many a fiction, yet we cannot do without it, even although we may be firmly convinced that our acts are determined by laws that cannot be broken.

Havelock Ellis
Men who know themselves are no longer fools. They stand on the threshold of the door of Wisdom.

Havelock Ellis
However well organised the foundations of life may be, life must always be full of risks.
Havelock Ellis
The art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that express themselves first in the human person. The art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person and in the end they unite.
Havelock Ellis
The modesty of women, which, in its most primitive form among animals, is based on sexual periodicity, is, with that periodicity, an essential condition of courtship.
Havelock Ellis
Beauty is the child of love.
Havelock Ellis
Every man of genius sees the world at a different angle from his fellows, and there is his tragedy.
Havelock Ellis
Mankind is becoming a single unit, and that for a unit to fight against itself is suicide.
Havelock Ellis
