More From Ashley Montagu
- "The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us."
- "It is work, work that one delights in, that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one’s earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison."
- "The natural superiority of women is a biological fact, and a socially acknowledged reality."
