The same energy of character which renders a man a daring villain would have rendered him useful in society, had that society been well organized.

If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of women, by a parity of reasoning, will not shrink from the same test.

Few, I believe, have had much affection for mankind, who did not first love their parents, their brothers, sisters, and even the domestic brutes, whom they first played with.

It appears to me impossible that I should cease to exist, or that this active, restless spirit, equally alive to joy and sorrow, should be only organized dust.

I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour.

Men and women must be educated, in a great degree, by the opinions and manners of the society they live in.
