Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing.
The argument that making contraceptives available to young people would prevent teen pregnancies is ridiculous. That's like offering a cookbook as a cure to people who are trying to lose weight.
How beggarly appear arguments before a defiant deed!
In a heated argument we are apt to lose sight of the truth.

No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish were on the other.
When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When it is over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.
