The passions or desires which are thought-born are deadly.

Any particular mode of passion or desire which receives an exclusive ideal sanction at once becomes poisonous.
If this is true for men, it is much more true for women.

Teach a woman to act from an idea, and you destroy her womanhood for ever.

Make a woman self-conscious, and her soul is barren as a sandbag.

Why were we driven out of Paradise?
Why did we fall into this gnawing disease of unappeasable dissatisfaction?
Not because we sinned.
