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

My husband - my king.

A king is always a king - and a woman always a woman: his authority and her sex ever stand between them and rational converse

Children, I grant, should be innocent; but when the epithet is applied to men, or women, it is but a civil term for weakness.

The most perfect education ... is such an exercise of the understanding as is best calculated to strengthen the body and form the heart. Or, in other words, to enable the individual to attain such habits of virtue as will render it independent.

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

Let us, my dear contemporaries, arise above such narrow prejudices. If wisdom be desirable on its own account, if virtue, to deserve the name, must be founded on knowledge, let us endeavour to strengthen our minds by reflection till our heads become a balance for our hearts.
