Ilka Chase quotes about

religious atheist men
It is usually when men are at their most religious that they behave with the least sense and the greatest cruelty.
peas-in-a-pod people trying
Young people want to look like peas in a pod, and there is no use trying to make them different.
heartbreaking youth realizing
All the humiliating, tragicomic, heartbreaking things happened to me in my girlhood, and nothing makes me happier than to realize I cannot possibly relive my youth.
travel regret youll-regret-it
When traveling abroad if you see something you yearn for if you can afford it at all, buy it. If you don't you'll regret it all your life.
sex hypocrisy conventions
We've surrounded the most vital and commonplace human function with a vast morass of taboos, convention, hypocrisy, and plain claptrap.
