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

Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one's self- sovereignty.

Men as a general rule have very little reverence for trees.

Out of the doctrine of original sin grew the crimes and miseries of asceticism, celibacy and witchcraft; woman becoming the helpless victim of all these delusions.

Without fear of contradiction, I can safely say that every step in progress that woman has made she has been assailed by ecclesiastics, that her most vigilant unwearied opponents have always been the clergy.

Women have crucified the Mary Wollstonecrafts, the Fanny Wrights, and the George Sands of all ages. Men mock us with the fact and say we are ever cruel to each other... If this present woman must be crucified, let men drive the spikes.

The best protection any woman can have... is courage.
