Other passages relevant to the effete progressives the novel's hero encounters:
“It was their fashion never to admire anything that was obviously beautiful, like a sunset or a pretty woman, but to find surprising loveliness in things which I thought hideous.”
"I hate more than I love. All we humanitarians and pacifists have hatred as our mainstream. Odd, isn’t it, for people who preach brotherly love? But it’s the truth. We’re full of hate towards everything that doesn’t square in with our ideas, everything that jars on our lady-like nerves...We’ve no cause – only negatives, and that means hatred, and self-torture, and a beastly jaundice of soul.”
