• I know that the only completely happy life for man and for woman is their life, first together, and then with their children. I am a firm believer that no marriage can be really happy, and no home a happy one for the children as well, unless man puts woman first and woman puts man first, each for the other the giver of every good gift. Children are the fruit of this total love.

• Porque la guerra para el hombre, como el parto para la mujer, es simplificadora en sus emociones y actividades. Todos los problemas reales de la vida pueden dejarse de lado mientras se hace una cosa y se necesita poco pensamiento para hacerla. ... Sus odios pueden expresarse sin censura, puede dar rienda suelta a sus emociones, puede comportarse tan dramática y heroicamente como quiera, y nadie se ríe de él. Es casi imposible que un hombre se comporte heroicamente en los tranquilos y ordinarios tiempos de paz. Pero en la guerra se le permite cualquier cosa, se le alaba y aplaude y se le hace mucho caso, como se excusa y se permite a las mujeres en el embarazo.
