 I like trying [to get pregnant]. I'm not so sure about childbirth.

 I should like to know what is the proper function of women, if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home, and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out

 Ignorance gives one a large range of probabilities

 Ignorance is not so damnable as humbug, but when it prescribes pills it may happen to do more harm

 Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
