“What is the Absolute? Something that appears to us in fleeting experiences--say, through the gentle smile of a beautiful woman, or even through the warm caring smile of a person who may otherwise seem ugly and rude.

Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex (the ugly ones included).”
