I come before you to declare that my sex are entitled to the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The wife who submits to sexual intercourse against her wishes or desires, virtually commits suicide; while the husband who compels it, commits murder.

I supposed that to marry was to be transported to a heaven not only of happiness but of purity and perfection.

All that is good and commendable now existing would continue to exist if all marriage laws were repealed tomorrow . . .

It is not great wealth in a few individuals that proves a country is prosperous, but great general wealth evenly distributed among the people. . .

I do not shake hands from a sanitary standpoint.

One of the charges made against me is that I lived in the same house with my former husband, Dr. Woodhull, and my present husband, Col. Blood. The fact is a fact.
