Modes and Morals (1920)

 * The great mistake of the reformers is to believe that life begins and ends with health, and that happiness begins and ends with a full stomach and the power to enjoy physical pleasures, even of the finer kind.
 * Ch. 1


 * The aristocracy most widely developed in America is that of wealth.
 * Ch. 2


 * I nearly always find, when I ask a vegetarian if he is a socialist, or a socialist if he is a vegetarian, that the answer is in the affirmative.
 * Ch. 3


 * Individual freedom and individual equality cannot co-exist. I dare say no one since Thomas Jefferson has really believed it.
 * Ch. 4


 * Many of us do not believe in capital punishment, because thus society takes from a man what society cannot give.
 * Ch. 7
