“There are more things to admire in men then to despise.”
“Young men often laugh at the sensible girls whom they secretly respect, and affect to admire the silly ones whom they secretly despise, because earnestness, intelligence, and womanly dignity are not the fashion.”
“Do not admire the warriors; do not admire the fighters; condemn the fist! Get rid of this low culture of wildness! Admire the nonviolent; applaud the peaceful; despise the brute force!”
“Those that despise peace and admire war are crushed under the boots of the war!”
“Nearly all of the men I admire are dead, because admiration is fueled by mystery. And what's more mysterious than death? Nothing. Well, besides women, of course.”
“Plus je vois le homes, plus j’admire les chiens” (The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs).”
