He is no true man who ever treats women with anything but the profoundest respect. She is no true woman who cannot inspire and does not take care to enforce this. Any real rivalry of the sexes is the sheerest folly and most unnatural nonsense.
Care | Folly | Man | Nonsense | Respect | Rivalry | Wisdom | Woman |
To be a revolutionary is to love your life enough to change it, to choose struggle instead of exile, to risk everything with only the glimmering hope of a world to win...Woman loves with her whole soul. To woman love is life, to man it is the joy of life.
Change | Enough | Hope | Joy | Life | Life | Love | Man | Risk | Soul | Struggle | Wisdom | Woman | World |
