Robert Louis Stevenson quotes

Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but principally by catchwords; and the little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Virginibus Puerisque and Other Papers (1881)
