We hope the day will soon come when every girl will be a member of a great Union of Unmarried Women, pledged to refuse an offer of... marriage from any man who is not an advocate of their emancipation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Children don't read to find their identity, to free themselves from guilt, to quench the thirst for rebellion or to get rid of ali...enation. They have no use for psychology.... They still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff.... When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish illusions.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Is that the wind dying? O no; It's only two devils, that blow... Through a murderer's bones, to and fro, In the ghosts' moonshine.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

His whole works are a heap of mis-shapen errors, and absurd paradoxes, vented with the confidence of a juggler, the brags of a mou...ntebank, and the authority of some Pythagoras, or third Cato, lately dropped down from heaven. Thus we have seen how the obbian principles do destroy the existence, the simplicity, the ubiquity, the eternity, and infiniteness of God, the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity, the hypostatical union, the kingly, sacerdotal, and prophetical office of Christ, the being and operation of the Holy Ghost, heaven, hell, angels, devils, the immortality of the soul, the Catholic and all national churches; the holy Scriptures, holy orders, the holy sacrament, the whole frame of religion, and the worship of God; the laws of nature, the reality of goodness, justice, piety, honesty, conscience, and all that is sacred.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Parliament is not a congress of ambassadors from different and hostile interests; which interests each must maintain, as an agent ...and advocate, against other agents and advocates; but parliament is a deliberative assembly of one nation, with one interest, that of the whole; where, not local purposes, not local prejudices ought to guide, but the general good, resulting from the general reason of the whole. You choose a member indeed; but when you have chosen him, he is not a member of Bristol, but he is a member of parliament.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
You have sensible women here [in England] but then, they are very devils--censorious, uncharitable, sarcastic--the women in Scotla...nd have twice--thrice their freedom, with all their virtue--and are very conversable and agreeable--their educations are more finished.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
