We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies, Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience. We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.

I was born 'neath a clouded star.

Every life has its actual blanks, which the ideal must fill up, or which else remain bare & profitless forever.

While your life is the true expression of your faith, whom can you fear?

I shall stick to my resolution of writing always what I think no matter whom it offends.

Any religion which will sacrifice a certain set of human beings for the enjoyment or aggrandizement or advantage of another is no religion. It is a thing which may be allowed, but it is against true religion. Any religion which sacrifices women to the brutality of men is no religion.

I am confirmed in my division of human energies. Ambitious people climb, but faithful people build.
