P.932 - §4 The
mother and child relation is natural, strong, and instinctive, and one which,
therefore, constrained primitive women to submit to many strange conditions
and to endure untold hardships. This compelling mother love is the handicapping
emotion which has always placed woman at such a tremendous disadvantage
in all her struggles with man. Even at that, maternal instinct in the human
species is not overpowering; it may be thwarted by ambition, selfishness,
and religious conviction. |

P.296 - §1 For the successful
pilgrims on the second circuit the stimulus of evolutionary uncertainty
is over, but the adventure of the eternal assignment has not yet begun;
and while the sojourn on this circle is wholly pleasurable and highly
profitable, it lacks some of the anticipative enthusiasm of the former
circles. Many are the pilgrims who, at such a time, look back upon the
long, long struggle with a joyous envy, really wishing they might somehow
go back to the worlds of time and begin it all over again, just as you
mortals, in approaching advanced age, sometimes look back over the struggles
of youth and early life and truly wish you might live your lives over
once again.
