More quotes by Havelock Ellis
Even the most scientific investigator in science, the most thoroughgoing Positivist, cannot dispense with fiction he must at least make use of categories, and they are already fictions, analogical fictions, or labels, which give us the same pleasure as children receive when they are told the name of a thing.
Havelock Ellis
The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a Wilderness.
Havelock Ellis
If men and women are to understand each other, to enter into each other's nature with mutual sympathy, and to become capable of genuine comradeship, the foundation must be laid in youth.
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
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
Socialism also brings us up against the hard rock of eugenic fact which, if we neglect it, will dash our most beautiful social construction to fragments.
Havelock Ellis
It is becoming clear that the old platitudes can no longer be maintained, and that if we wish to improve our morals we must first improve our knowledge.
Havelock Ellis
Mankind is becoming a single unit, and that for a unit to fight against itself is suicide.
Havelock Ellis
What we call 'morals' is simply blind obedience to words of command.
Havelock Ellis
There is nothing more fragile than civilization.
Havelock Ellis
Failing to find in women exactly the same kind of sexual emotions, as they find in themselves, men have concluded that there are none there at all.
Havelock Ellis
Birth-control is effecting, and promising to effect, many functions in our social life.
Havelock Ellis
Every artist writes his own autobiography.
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
The parents have not only to train their children: it is of at least equal importance that they should train themselves.
Havelock Ellis
Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?
Havelock Ellis
