There must be more equality established in society, or morality will never gain ground, and this virtuous equakity will not rest firmly even when founded on a rock, if one half of mankind be chained to its bottom by fate, for they will be continually undermining it through ignorance or pride

The beginning is always today.

A modest man is steady, an humble man timid, and a vain one presumptuous.

In the education of women, the cultivation of the understanding is always subordinate to the acquirement of some corporeal accomplishment.

Let not men then in the pride of power, use the same arguments that tyrannic kings and venal ministers have used, and fallaciously assert that women ought to be subjected because she has always been so.... It is time to effect a revolution in female manners - time to restore to them their lost dignity.... It is time to separate unchangeable morals from local manners.

Women all want to be ladies, which is simply to have nothing to do, but listlessly to go they scarcely care where, for they cannot tell what.

Men, in general, seem to employ their reason to justify prejudices...rather than to root them out.
