What a necessary, logical, desirable growth for mankind! if we could only attain to it ourselves!}} | {{Quote|"But the man who is not superficial, who has depth of thought as well as of purpose, the depth which not only makes him desire right but endows him with determination and strength to do right, must always look on woman from the oriental standpoint:—as a possession, as private property, as something born to serve and be dependent on him ...

{{Quote|"While she thus appropriates new rights, aspires to be 'master', and inscribes the 'progress' of woman on her flags and banners, the very opposite reveals itself with terrible obviousness: woman retrogrades."|''Beyond Good and Evil''.}} | |||
