"Man," I cried, "how ignorant art thou in thy pride of wisdom!" - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Nothing, I am sure, calls forth the faculties so much as the being obliged to struggle with the world; and this is not a woman's province in a married state. Her sphere of action is not large, and if she is not taught to look into her own heart, how trivial are her occupations and pursuits! What little arts engross and narrow her mind!

What is there in our nature that is for ever urging us on towards pain and misery?

There is but one solution to the intricate riddle of life; to improve ourselves, and contribute to the happiness of others.
