Oh, the shortcomings and inconsistency of the average human being, especially when this human being is a man trying to manage women's affairs!

Whatever oppressions man has suffered, they have invariably fallen more heavily on woman. Whatever new liberties advancing civilization has brought to man, ever the smallest measure has been accorded to woman, as a result of church teaching. The effect of this is seen in every department of life.

God, in His wisdom, has so linked the whole human family together that any violence done at one end of the chain is felt throughout its length.

Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility.

You're dangerous."he says. Why?" Because you make me believe in the impossible." — Simone Elkeles (Rules of Attraction)
