“If abuses are destroyed, man must destroy them. If slaves are freed, man must free them. If new truths are discovered, man must discover them. If the naked are clothed; if the hungry are fed; if justice is done; if labor is rewarded; if superstition is driven from the mind; if the defenseless are protected and if the right finally triumphs, all must be the work of man. The grand victories of the future must be won by man, and by man alone.”
“If an illusion makes a man happy, destroy that illusion! Because happiness must come via the truth!”
“woman must not depend on the protection of man, but must learn to protect herself”
“A man must...not be content to do things well, but must also aim to do them gracefully.”
“Woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself.”
