The melting-pot idea is futile ... The brew in a melting pot is always boiling over.

No longer can we afford to stuff the brains of the young with facts. The time is too short, the necessity for results too pressing. The new education must be based on the elimination of facts except as they illustrate principles. How to use facts, not how to accumulate them, is the purpose of true education.

The concept of 'Momism' is male nonsense. It is the refuge of a man seeking excuses for his own lack of virility. I have listened to many women in various countries, and I have never found a woman who willingly 'mothers' her husband. The very idea is repulsive to her. She wants to mother the children while they are young, but never their fathers. True, she may be forced into the role of mother by a man's weaknesses and childishness, and then she accepts the role with dignity and patience, or with anger and impatience, but always with a secret, profound sadness unexpressed and inexpressible.

When we know what we want to prove, we go out and find our facts. They are always there.

It certainly must have been a relief for women of the country to realize that one could be a woman and a lady and yet be thoroughly political.

It is better to learn early of the inevitable depths, for then sorrow and death can take their proper place in life, and one is not afraid.

Exclusion is always dangerous. Inclusion is the only safety if we are to have a peaceful world.
