"In the sex war, thoughtlessness is the weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female." ― Cyril Connolly Topic(s): War More From Cyril Connolly "The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above." "The secret of success is to be in harmony with existence, to be always calm to let each wave of life wash us a little farther up the shore." "There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another. This should be made clear to all who contemplate such a union. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom, for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives."

The sky has been dark ever since the war began."― Black Kettle
