"Bugunku haliyle uygar insanoglu nefrete dostluktan daha fazla egilimlidir. Nefrete egilimlidir, cunku yasamindan hosnut degildir, cunku yasamin anlamini yitirdigini, dunya nimetlerinin tadini baskalarinin cikardigini kendisinin bircogundan yararlanamadigini hissetmektedir." Mutlu Olma Sanati
"The human heart as modern civilisation has made it is more prone to hatred than to friendship. And it is prone to hatred because it is dissatisfied, because it feels deply, perhaps even unconsciously, that it has somehow missed the meaning of life, that perhaps others, but not we ourselves, have secured the good things which nature offers man's enjoyment."
"Saygideger kadinlarin arasinda cekememezlik onemli bir yer tutar. Yeralti treninde oturuyorsunuz, guzel giyinmis bir hanim giriyor iceriye, vagondaki kadinlarin gozlerine dikkat edin. Goreceksiniz ki , her biri bu kadina kotu niyetli bakislar firlatmakta ve onda bir kusur bulmak icin cirpinmaktadir.
Ayni seye erkekler arasinda da rastlanir; yalniz su farkla ki, diger butun kadinlari kendilerine rakip olarak gordukleri halde, erkekler bu duyguyu ancak kendi meslektaslarina beslerler."
"Among average respectable women envy plays an extraordinarily large part. If you are sitting in the underground and a well-dressed woman happens to walk along the car, watch the eyes of the other women. You will see that every one of then, with the possible exception of those who are better dressed, will watch the woman with malevolent glances, and will be struggling to draw inferences derogatory to her.
Exactly the same thing, however, is to be observed among men, except that women regard all other women as their competitors, whereas men as a rule only have this feeling towards other men in the same profession."
