The romantic embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.

If men and women are to understand each other, to enter into each other's nature with mutual sympathy, and to become capable of genuine comradeship, the foundation must be laid in youth.

The family only represents one aspect, however important an aspect, of a human being's functions and activities. A life is beautiful and ideal or the reverse, only when we have taken into our consideration the social as well as the family relationship.

A sublime faith in human imbecility has seldom led those who cherish it astray.

Pain and death are part of life. To reject them is to reject life itself.

The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

The art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that express themselves first in the human person. The art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person and in the end they unite.

Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.

So far as business and money are concerned, a country gains nothing by a successful war, even though that war involves the acquisition of immense new provinces.

Liberty is always unfinished business

The second great channel through which the impulse towards the control of procreation for the elevation of the race is entering into practical life is by the general adoption, by the educatedЂ'of methods for the prevention of conception except when conception is deliberately desired.

Havelock Ellis 174 quotes

The modesty of women, which, i...

The modesty of women, which, in its most primitive form among animals, is based on sexual periodicity, is, with that periodicity, an essential condition of courtship.

Havelock Ellis 174 quotes

I regard sex as the central pr...

I regard sex as the central problem of life. And now that the problem of religion has practically been settled, and that the problem of labor has at least been placed on a practical foundation, the question of sexЂ'with the racial questions that rest on itЂ'stands before the coming generations as the chief problem for solution. Sex lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life until we know how to understand sex.

Havelock Ellis 174 quotes

Reproduction is so primitive a...

Reproduction is so primitive and fundamental a function of vital organisms that the mechanism by which it is assured is highly complex and not yet clearly understood. It is not necessarily connected with sex, nor is sex necessarily connected with reproduction.

Havelock Ellis 174 quotes

Courtship, properly understood...

Courtship, properly understood, is the process whereby both the male and the female are brought into that state of sexual tumescence which is a more or less necessary condition for sexual intercourse. The play of courtship cannot, therefore, be considered to be definitely brought to an end by the ceremony of marriage; it may more properly be regarded as the natural preliminary to every act of coitus.

Havelock Ellis 174 quotes

Greek is the embodiment of the...

Greek is the embodiment of the fluent speech that runs or soars, the speech of a people which could not help giving winged feet toits god of art. Latin is the embodiment of the weighty and concentrated speech which is hammered and pressed and polished into the shape of its perfection, as the ethically minded Romans believed that the soul also should be wrought.

Havelock Ellis 174 quotes

The mother is really a more immediate parent than the father because one is born from the mother, and the first experience of any infant is the mother.
