All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righ...teousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
That your sex are naturally tyrannical is a truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute; but such of you as wish to ...be happy willingly give up the harsh title of master for the more tender and endearing one of friend.... Men of sense in all ages abhor those customs which treat us only as the vassals of your sex; regard us then as being placed by Providence under your protection, and in imitation of the Supreme Being make use of that power only for our happiness.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The only human beings I have thoroughly admired and respected in the world have been those who carried the load of the world with ...a smile, and who, in the face of anxieties that would have knocked me clean out, never showed a tremor. Such men and women end by owning us, soul and body, and our allegiance can never be shaken. We are only too glad to be owned. Religion is nothing but this.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I was born to be an editor, I always edit everything. I edit my room at least once a week. Hotels are made for me. I can change a ...hotel room so thoroughly that even its proprietor doesn't recognize it.... I edit people's clothes, dressing them infallibly in the right lines.... I change everyone's coiffure--except those that please me--and these I gaze at with such satisfaction that I become suspect, I edit people's tones of voice, their laughter, their words. I change their gestures, their photographs. I change the books I read, the music I hear ... It's this incessant, unavoidable observation, this need to distinguish and impose, that has made me an editor. I can't make things. I can only revise what has been made.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Facts can't be recounted; much less twice over, and far less still by different persons. I've already drummed that thoroughly into... your head. What happens is that your wretched memory remembers the words and forgets what's behind them.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
... we are not dreamers or fanatics; and we know that the ballot when we get it, will achieve for woman no more than it has achiev...ed for man.... The ballot is not even half the loaf; it is only a crust--a crumb. The ballot touches only those interests, either of women or men, which take their root in political questions. But woman's chief discontent is not with her political, but with her social, and particularly her marital bondage. The solemn and profound question of marriage ... [ellipsis in source] is of more vital consequence to woman's welfare, reaches down to a deeper depth in woman's heart, and more thoroughly constitutes the core of the woman's movement, than any such superficial and fragmentary question as woman's suffrage.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
