“I know some women go in for excitement and danger. It must make them feel more alive. It's my professional judgment that you're a dangerous man.”

“If a man is alive, there is always danger that he may die, though the danger must be allowed to be less in proportion as he is dead-and-alive to begin with. A man sits as many risks as he runs.”

“Some women can drink some men under the table, but a man under the table can still be dangerous.”

“You're making it sound like it's more dangerous to have a slightly weird family, than a totally weird family.”

“It is dangerous to explain too clearly to man how like he is to the animals without pointing out his greatness. It is also dangerous to make too much of his greatness without his vileness. It is still more dangerous to leave him in ignorance of both, but it is most valuable to represent both to him.Man must not be allowed to believe that he is equal either to animals or to angels, nor to be unaware of either, but he must know both.”
