Who said “The ideas of a time are like the clothes of a season: they are as arbitrary, as much…”?

“Ideas too are a life and a world.”

“It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.”

“All achievement, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea! p.18”

“An idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.”

“If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere, you even smell it.”

“The art of advertisement, after the American manner, has introduced into all our life such a lavish use of superlatives, that no standard of value whatever is intact.”

“Men were only made into ''men'' with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally ''a man'' any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.”

“The puritanical potentialities of science have never been forecast. If it evolves a body of organized rites, and is established as a religion, hierarchically organized, things more than anything else will be done in the name of ''decency.'' The coarse fumes of tobacco and liquors, the consequent tainting of the breath and staining of white fingers and teeth, which is so offensive to many women, will be the first things attended to.”

“It is more comfortable for me, in the long run, to be rude than polite.”

“As a result of the feminist revolution, ''feminine'' becomes an abusive epithet.”

“''Revolution'' today is taken for granted, and in consequence becomes rather dull.”
