If every day a man takes orders in silence from an incompetent superior, if every day he solemnly performs ritual acts which he pr...ivately finds ridiculous, if he unhesitatingly gives answers to questionnaires which are contrary to his real opinions and is prepared to deny his own self in public, if he sees no difficulty in feigning sympathy or even affection where, in fact, he feels only indifference or aversion, it still does not mean that he has entirely lost the use of one of the basic human senses, namely, the sense of humiliation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I see and hear daily that you of the Clergy preach one against another, teach one contrary to another, inveigh one against another... without charity or discretion.

One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to... legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contra...ry to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
To grant woman an equality with man in the affairs of life is contrary to every tradition, every precedent, every inheritance, eve...ry instinct and every teaching.
