"A house does not need a wife any more than it needs a husband." (on the term "housewife")

"What is the matter?" he cried. "For God's sake, what are you doing!"
I kept on creeping just the same, but I looked at him over my shoulder.
"I've got out at last," said I, "in spite of you and Jane. And I've pulled off most of the paper, so you can't put me back!”

Let us revere, let us worship, but erect and open-eyed, the highest, not the lowest; the future, not the past!

New York - that unnatural city where every one is an exile, none more so than the American

So when the great word "Mother!" rang once more, I saw at last its meaning and its place; Not the blind passion of the brooding past, But Mother -- the World's Mother -- come at last, To love as she had never loved before -- To feed and guard and teach the human race.
