I Have Lived And Slept In The Same Bed With English Countesses And Prussian Farm Women... No Woman Has Excited Passions Among Women More Than I Have.

A Woman Cannot Live In The Light Of Intellect. Society Forbids It. Those Conventional Frivolities, Which Are Called Her 'duties', Forbid It. Her 'domestic Duties', High-sounding Words, Which, For The Most Part, Are But Bad Habits (which She Has Not The Courage To Enfranchise Herself From, The Strength To Break Through), Forbid It.

I Never Lose An Opportunity Of Urging A Practical Beginning, However Small...

Sublime In The Highest Style Of Intellectual Beauty, Intellect Without Effort, Without Suffering... Not A Feature Is Correct – But The Whole Effect Is More Expressive Of Spiritual Grandeur Than Anything I Could Have Imagined. It Makes The Impression Upon One That Thousands Of Voices Do, Uniting In One Unanimous Simultaneous Feeling Of Enthusiasm Or Emotion, Which Is Said To Overcome The Strongest Man.

We Set The Treatment Of Bodies So High Above The Treatment Of Souls, That The Physician Occupies A Higher Place In Society Than The School-master.
