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.

Riders of the Purple Sage (1925). Lynn Reynolds

New Women (1935). Chusheng Cai

– I don't understand you. Why are you always cold as a glacier? – Because one is always afraid to catch fire... Passion sometimes results in self-immolation! Bravery unto death is easy; persevering through the hardships of struggle is hard. Marriage! What can marriage give me? 'Companion for life'?! Might as well call it 'slave for life'! Life is a struggle... If you fall down, you must get back up again... and you're certain to be victorious in the end!
