The love of power and the love of liberty are in eternal antagonism. - John Stuart Mill

What is now called the nature of women is an eminently artificial thing — the result of forced repression in some directions, unnatural stimulation in others.

So true is that unnatural generally means only uncustomary, and that everything which is usual appears natural.

He who lets the world, or his own portion of it, choose his plan of life for him, has no need of any other faculty than the ape-like one of imitation. He who chooses his plan for himself, employs all his faculties.
