I cannot refrain from saying that women must come to recognize there is some function of womanhood other than being a child-bearing machine.

Like begets like. We gather perfect fruit from perfect trees... . Abused soil brings forth stunted growths.

The submission of her body without love or desire is degrading to the woman's finer sensibility, all the marriage certificates on earth to the contrary notwithstanding.

No woman can call herself free who cannot choose the time to be a mother or not as she sees fit.

... it has always been the depth of my belief, my faith, or my love that was the mainspring of my behavior. When once I believed in doing a thing, nothing could prevent my doing it.

As a cause becomes more and more successful, the ideas of the people engaged in it are bound to change.

The real hope of the world lies in putting as painstaking thought into the business of mating as we do into other big businesses.
