“I didn't like having reasonable arguments thrown at me.”
“It must have been then that I began to lose faith in reasonable argument as the sole measure of truth.”
“Like me!" I said. "I have to work hard, too. Why, I haven't thrown manure in over two months!”
“I tried being reasonable, but I didn't like it.”
“I'd been taught not to like myself,because the people around me didn't, for whatever reason like me.”
“Oh, but reasoning is so much worse than scolding!... I didn't marry to be reasoned with. If you meant to reason with such a poor little thing as I am, you ought to have told me so, you cruel boy!”
