Thursday, 4 January 1945


If your ideals take you away from humanity and humanism, and set you apart [from these], then they are bad ideals.

Therefore, typical female idealism is good, but typical male idealism is bad, because typical female idealism is to lift life and all in it to the highest and most beautiful. But man's idealism scorns reality and is of the stars, or another world, or dreams.

...

Pasted in: Wiliams James once said, 'The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.'
