I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour.

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.

I must be allowed to add some explanatory remarks to bring the subject home to reason-to that sluggish reason, which supinely takes opinions on trust, and obstinately supports them to spare itself the labour of thinking.

When poverty is more disgraceful than even vice, is not morality cut to the quick?

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

Virtue can only flourish among equals.

Till women are more rationally educated, the progress in human virtue and improvement in knowledge must receive continual checks.
