Behaviour

Famous quotes containing the word behaviour:

    “I look on it as no trifling effort of female strength to withstand the artful and ardent solicitations of a man that is thoroughly master of our hearts. Should we in the conflict come off victorious, it hardly pays us for the pain we suffer from the experiment ... and I still persist in it that such a behaviour in any man I love would rob me of that most pleasing thought, namely, the obligation I have to him for not making such a trial.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    “... into the novel goes such taste as I have for rational behaviour and social portraiture. The short story, as I see it to be, allows for what is crazy about humanity: obstinacies, inordinate heroisms, “immortal longings.””
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “The quality of moral behaviour varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
