The softest, freest, most pliable and changeful living substance is the brain-the hardest and most iron-bound as well.
Charlotte Perkins GilmanThe best proof of man's dissatisfaction with the home is found in his universal absence from it.
Charlotte Perkins GilmanIf we once admit that our life is here for the purpose of race-improvement, then we question any religion which does not improve the race, or the main force of which evaporates, as it were, directing our best efforts toward the sky.... Improvement in the human race is not accomplished by extracting any number of souls and placing them in heaven, or elsewhere. It must be established on earth, either through achievement in social service, or through better children.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
