Most of us associate heroism with ancient times or distant lands. We are blind to the discreet courage and endurance of those we meet every day.

Scaramouche (1923). Rex Ingram

Monsieur, I had pictured Justice as blind, but beautiful. Today I find that Justice is not blind – not to rank and weath. Nothing is more wounding to a woman's vanity than the conquest which remains unmade. When beauty grieves, consolation is not long forthcoming.

Nerves (1919). Robert Reinert

Happy children, you don't know anything about nerves, yet. But I say to you: whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart! Can love, this most beautiful of all feelings, be so vibrant? I recognize the nerves of the world by my own nerves. Human ideals are not achieved through violence. Just as a person who does not work perishes in body and soul, a people who does not work must perish. Back to nature! Work! New nerves, new people!
