Women are degraded by the propensity to enjoy the present moment, and, at last, despise the freedom which they have not sufficient virtue to struggle to attain.

Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority.

Be present and in the moment.

The present moment is significant, not as the bridge between past and future, but by reason of its contents, which can fill our emptiness and become ours, if we are capable of receiving them.

If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year...Today should always be our most wonderful day.

At the present moment, the security of coherent philosophy, which existed from Parmenides to Hegel, is lost.
