There is another way in which the general opinion, that women are inferior to men, is manifested....I allude to the disproportionate value set on the time and labor of men and women.

I am persuaded that the rights of woman, like the rights of slaves, need only be examined to be understood and asserted.

whatsoever it is morally right for a man to do, it is morally right for a woman to do.

The virtue of female slaves is wholly at the mercy of irresponsible tyrants, and women are bought and sold in our slave markets, to gratify the brutal lust of those who bear the name of Christians.

The reason why women effect so little and are so shallow is because their aims are low, marriage is the prize for which they strive; if foiled in that they rarely rise above disappointment.

My real life is funnier than anything on TV.

If a man is not rising upward to be an angel, depend on it, he is sinking downward to be a devil.

In fact, a case could be made that worrying about a problem actually prevents you from resolving it, because it deceives your mind into thinking that you're doing something when really you're not.

I have nothing but scorn for all weird ideas other than my own.
