pure and simple

«LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like _caries_ and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.»
«The truth is rarely pure and never simple.»
«Whenever a person strives, by the help of dialectic, to start in pursuit of every reality by a simple process of reason, independent of all sensuous information / never flinching, until by an act of the pure intelligence he has grasped the real nature of good / he arrives at the very end of the intellectual world.»
«It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly.»
