Soon, in all parts of our country, in each neglected village, or new settlement, the Christian female teacher will quietly take he...r station, collecting the ignorant children around her, teaching them habits of neatness, order and thrift; opening the book of knowledge, inspiring the principles of morality, and awakening the hope of immortality. Soon her influence in the village will create a demand for new laborers, and then she will summon from among her friends at home, the nurse for the young and sick, the seamstress and the mantuamaker; and these will prove her auxiliaries in good moral influence, and in sabbath school training. And often as the result of these labors, the Church will arise, and the minister of Christ be summoned to fill up the complement of domestic, moral and religious blessing.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A writer who writes, "I am alone" ... can be considered rather comical.

Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off.... It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Yes, but what are all these guises, aspects presentations? Only manifestations of what we all are at different times, according to... how these needs are pulled out of us. I write in these bald words the deepest lessons of my life, the truest substance of what I have learned. I am not only a Chronicler of Zone Three, or only partially, for I also share in Al*Ith's condition of being ruler insofar as I can write of her, describe her. I am woman with her (though I am a man) as I write of her femaleness--and Dabeeb's. I am Ben Ata when I summon him into my mind and try to make him real. I am ... what I am at the moment I am that.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I, Zarathustra, the advocate of life, the advocate of suffering, the advocate of the circle--I summon you, my most abysmal thought...!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
