| #7128 | | In Christianity, a man may have only one wife. This is called Monotony.
|
|
| #7129 | | In marriage, as in war, it is permitted to take every advantage of the enemy.
|
|
| #7130 | | In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar -- a practice which is
still continued.
-- Helen Rowland

| #7131 | | In the midst of one of the wildest parties he'd ever been to, the young man
noticed a very prim and pretty girl sitting quietly apart from the rest of
the revelers. Approaching her, he introduced himself and, after some quiet
conversation, said, "I'm afraid you and I don't really fit in with this
jaded group. Why don't I take you home?""
"Fine," said the girl, smiling up at him demurely. "Where do you live?"

| #7137 | | It did not occur to me that my being with two men continuously would
interest anyone or arouse anyone's misgivings. I asked for an invitation
for Heinrich too, as often as it seemed possible, when Paulus and I were
invited to a social gathering. I felt the set of rules others lived by
was irrelevant. My childhood attitude -- every attempt to adjust is
hopeless and you might just as well follow your own attitudes -- must have
carried me.
-- Hannah Tillich, "From Time to Time"
