But since he had the genius to be loved, why let him have the justice to be honored in his grave.
Elizabeth Browning, fully Elizabeth Barrett Browning
A woman's pity sometimes makes her mad.
Elizabeth Browning, fully Elizabeth Barrett Browning
And wilt thou have me fashion into speech the love I bear thee, finding words enough, and hold the torch out, while the winds are rough, between our faces, to cast light on each? -I dropt it at thy feet. I cannot teach my hand to hold my spirits so far off from myself--me--that I should bring thee proof in words, of love hid in me out of reach. Nay, let the silence of my womanhood commend my woman-love to thy belief, - seeing that I stand unwon, however wooed, and rend the garment of my life, in brief, by a most dauntless, voiceless fortitude, lest one touch of this heart convey its grief.
The four virtues a person needs in order to be safe and happy in life: intelligence, friendship, strength and (I love this one) poetry.
Elizabeth Browning, fully Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Through heaven and earth God's will moves freely, and I follow it, as color follows light. He overflows the firmamental walls with deity, therefore with love; His lightnings go abroad, his pity may do so, His angels must, whene'er He gives them charges.

To refuse political equality is to rob the ostracized of all self-respect.

The idea of feminine authority is so deeply embedded in the human subconscious that even after all these centuries of father-right the young child instinctively regards the mother as the supreme authority. He looks upon the father as equal with himself, equally subject to the woman's rule. Children have to be taught to love, honor, and respect the father, a task usually assumed by the mother.

Woman's discontent increases in exact proportion to her development.
The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.
There is a solitude, which each and every one of us has always carried with him, more inaccessible than the ice-cold mountains, more profound than the midnight sea; the solitude of self. Our inner being, which we call ourself, no eye nor touch of man or angel has ever pierced.

There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.
You may go over the world and you will find that every form of religion which has breathed upon this earth has degraded woman... I have been traveling over the old world during the last few years and have found new food for thought. What power is it that makes the Hindoo woman burn herself upon the funeral pyre of her husband? Her religion. What holds the Turkish woman in the harem? Her religion. By what power do the Mormons perpetuate their system of polygamy? By their religion/ Man, of himself, could not do this; but when he declares, 'Thus saith the Lord,' of course he can do it. So long as ministers stand up and tell us Christ is the head of the church, so is man the head of woman, how are we to break the chains which have held women down through the ages? You Christian women look at the Hindu, the Turkish, the Mormon women, and wonder how they can be held in such bondage...
