"Every experience, regardless of how lovely or difficult, uplifting or oppressive, is worth living."
"If I may be permitted to criticize the Bible, I would say that from the unjust position the Bible assigns to the woman it is clear that it is the writing of a brilliant but masculine human being, not a divine dictation. In other words, there is no logical, necessary consequence of the differences between the sexes that is ordained by God."
"Love was not for me,
So I live like a plant
In a cellar without light.
Love was not for me,
So I sound like a violin
Played with a broken bow.
Love was not for me,
so I bury myself in work,
And make myself sore with duty.
Love was not for me,
So I try to look upon death,
A friendly face."
