Love, in Freedom, Is the Only Condition of a Beautiful Life

Marriage is our only safety valve against the pernicious sex awakening of woman. Ibsen must have had a vision of a free mother when with a master stroke, he portrayed missus alving. She was the ideal mother because she had outgrown marriage in all its horrors. If the world is ever to give birth to true companionship and oneness, not marriage, but love will be the parent.
