"Respectability, regularity, and routine - the whole cast-iron……" — Bertrand Russell

"Respectability, regularity, and routine - the whole cast-iron discipline of a modern industrial society - have atrophied the artistic impulse, and imprisoned love so that it can no longer be generous and free and creative, but must be either stuffy or furtive."

— Bertrand Russell
