Misc. Quotes
(Interesting or pithy quotes from the book)
“The Olive Skinned Dark Haired Type, and the freckled, red haired are very much alike. Both have a low forehead, hair is plentiful all over the body, thick and coarse. Their canines are long and sharp.
Men and women of that type are good fighters, more easily angered than scared; they are generally successful, with a tendency to slave-driving. In the face of great difficulties, of painful disappointment, however, they are prone to turn embittered and cranky.
People of this type who show large birth marks are likely to be unbalanced and irritable. They may at times give the impression of being weak and lazy, altho their minds my be extremely active.”
