The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.
The prolonged slavery of women is the darkest page in human history.
Come, come, my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles, and see that the world is moving.
The strongest reason for giving woman all the opportunities for higher education, for the full development of her faculties, her forces of mind and body... is the solitude and personal responsibility of her own individual life.
The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.

Self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice.
The right is ours. Have it we must. Use it we will.
