Let women issue a declaration of independence sexually, and absolutely refuse to cohabit with men until they are acknowledged as equals in everything, and the victory would be won in a single week.

I and others of my sex find ourselves controlled by a form of government in the inauguration of which we had no voice.

It makes no difference who or what you are, old or young, black or white, pagan, Jew, or Christian, I want to love you all and be loved by you all, and I mean to have your love.

That is the definition of equal justice under law: everyone gets a fair shot, everyone pays their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
