"Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men." ― Joseph Conrad Topic(s): Men More From Joseph Conrad "It is a maudlin and indecent verity that comes out through the strength of wine." "He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense." "Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line." More In Men "There is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men."― Epicurus "There can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men."― Black Elk "If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject."― Ayn Rand
