For some reason that's the quote that stuck in my mind all of these years. "At best cows" became a bit of a running joke with my friends, since it was so utterly absurd.
Part of the reason why I said it was kickass was because there are parts of it which I disagree with, such as that bit, "On Tarantulas" (Read: Socialists, even though I thought it was excellent satire of Communists), and his general rejection of democracy. Besides, you can't blame the poor bastard for being so scornful about women, seeing as both of his marriage proposals were rejected.
