Page 86 - I think we are just a hundred years behind the times in clinging to a word like Empire.
Page 90 - Spoils and place and privilege — for money over men — party over principle — men over women. It suffocates me.
Page 167 - There are always at least two ways of doing a thing — and one is not to do it!
Page 173 - Evidently nothing could be done straight anyway ; there was an ineradicable kink in human nature to prevent that.
