THE SENTIMENTALISTS(PLAY) [GM#103][GN03V10.TXT]4497

A great oration may be a sedative

A male devotee is within an inch of a miracle

Above Nature, I tell him, or, we shall be very much below

As in all great oratory! The key of it is the pathos

Back from the altar to discover that she has chained herself

Cupid clipped of wing is a destructive parasite

Excess of a merit is a capital offence in morality

His idea of marriage is, the taking of the woman into custody

I am a discordant instrument I do not readily vibrate

I like him, I like him, of course, but I want to breathe

I who respect the state of marriage by refusing

Love and war have been compared--Both require strategy

Peace, I do pray, for the husband-haunted wife

Period of his life a man becomes too voraciously constant

Pitiful conceit in men

Rejoicing they have in their common agreement

Self-worship, which is often self-distrust

Suspects all young men and most young women

Their idol pitched before them on the floor

Were I chained, For liberty I would sell liberty

Woman descending from her ideal to the gross reality of man

Your devotion craves an enormous exchange
