“What breadth, what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all palisades, all fences, within which she is held captive!”

“We are captives, even if our wheat grows over the fences/ and swallows rise from our broken chains./ We are captives of what we love, what we desire, and what we are.”

“The secret of success is this all-powerful creative energy within, which human beings often sleep over throughout their entire lives.”

“The woman must look like the weathered side of a rotted fence post if she had to get a man this way.”

“For the anarchist, freedom is not an abstract philosophical concept, but the vital concrete possibility of every human being to bring to full development all the powers, capacities and talents with which nature has endowed them, and turn them to social account.”

“Over the years I have developed a picture of what a human being living humanely is like. She is a person who understand, values and develops her body, finding it beautiful and useful; a person who is real and is willing to take risks, to be creative, to manifest competence, to change when the situation calls for it, and to find ways to accommodate to what is new and different, keeping that part of the old that is still useful and discarding what is not.”
