Come to think about it..

 "At five years old , mortals are not prepared to be citizens of the world, to be stimulated by 

abstract nouns, to soar above preference into impartiality; and that prejudice in favor of milk 

with which we blindly begin, is a type of the way body and soul must get nourished at least 

for a time. The best introduction to astronomy is to think of the nightly heavens as a little lot 

of stars belonging to one's own homestead."

"Do I contradict myself? very well then,

  I contradict myself.

PENCERE 3

'My dear  Monsieur Duroy, for me a man  in love no longer exist.

He becomes an idiot and a dangereous idiot at that. I stop having

any close relationship with man who love me or claim to, first

because they bore me and secondly because I feel as suspicious

of them as I would  of a mad dog that may suddenly  have a fit.

So, I put hem in quarantine until they've got over their attack.

Don't forget that. 

I know perfectly well that for you a love is merely  a sort of appetite

whereas for me it would be  more  a sort of... of...of communion

of souls which doesn't exist in male 's religion. You understand

the letter and I understand the spirit. But....look at me please...'
