Human beings lose their logic in their vindictiveness.

Let the girl be thoroughly developed in body and soul, not modeled, like a piece of clay, after some artificial specimen of humanity, with a body like some plate in Godey's book of fashion, and a mind after the type of Father Gregory's pattern daughters, loaded down with the traditions, proprieties, and sentimentalities of generations of silly mothers and grandmothers, but left free to be, to grow, to feel, to think, to act. Development is one thing, that system of cramping, restraining, torturing, perverting, and mystifying, called education, is quite another.

When we consider that women are treated as property it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.

The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.

Every man who is not for us in this prolonged struggle for liberty is responsible for the present degradation of the mothers of the race. It is pitiful to see how few men ever have made our cause their own, but while leaving us to fight our battle alone, they have been unsparing in their criticism of every failure. Of all the battles for liberty in the long past, woman only has been left to fight her own, without help and with all the powers of earth and heaven, human and divine, arrayed against her.

You may go over the world and you will find that every form of religion which has breathed upon this earth has degraded woman.

The prolonged slavery of woman is the darkest page in human history.
