35/39 We must try to regulate our passions or they will master us, stifle what is really good in us. But let's finish with it while we are about it--my solution is that the State and the Community should do their utmost to encourage, subsidize, reward early marriages; and at the same time facilitate in a reasonable degree divorce. Apply both these remedies and you would go far to wipe out prostitution, which I think perfectly horrible--I--I should like to penalize it. Perhaps it is the Irish ascetic in my constitution. A good many early marriages might be failures. |
