Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government.

When man, governed by reasonable laws, enjoys his natural freedom, let him despise woman, if she do not share it with him.

The endeavor to keep alive any hoary establishment beyond its natural date is often pernicious and always useless.

Women have seldom sufficient employment to silence their feelings; a round of little cares, or vain pursuits frittering away all strength of mind and organs, they become naturally only objects of sense.

True happiness must arise from well-regulated affections, and an affection includes a duty.

Men neglect the duties incumbent on man, yet are treated like demi-gods; religion is also separated from morality by a ceremonial veil, yet men wonder that the world is almost, literally speaking, a den of sharpers or oppressors.

The same energy of character which renders a man a daring villain would have rendered him useful in society, had that society been well organized.
