Woman is the salvation or the destruction of the family. She carries its destiny in the folds of her mantle.

Mother of Marvels, mysterious and tender Nature, why do we not live more in thee.
 Henri Frederic Amiel
The philosopher is like a man fasting in the midst of universal intoxication. He alone perceives the illusion of which all creatures are the willing playthings; he is less duped than his neighbor by his own nature. He judges more sanely, he sees things as they are. It is in this that his liberty consists - in the ability to see clearly and soberly, in the power of mental record.
