Women do not want power over men, they want power over themselves.

It is vain to expect virtue from women till they are in some degree independent of men.

Hereditary property sophisticates the mind, and the unfortunate victims to it ... swathed from their birth, seldom exert the locomotive faculty of body or mind; and, thus viewing every thing through one medium, and that a false one, they are unable to discern in what true merit and happiness consist.

Nothing, I am sure, calls forth the faculties so much as the being obliged to struggle with the world.

In this metropolis a number of lurking leeches infamously gain subsistence by practicing on the credulity of women.

An immoderate fondness for dress, for pleasure, and for sway, are the passions of savages; the passions that occupy those uncivilized beings who have not yet extended the dominion of the mind, or even learned to think with the energy necessary to concatenate that abstract train of thought which produces principles.... that women from their education and the present state of civilized life, are in the same condition, cannotbe controverted.

When we feel deeply, we reason profoundly.
