“Although Samuel had a depraved imaginationperhaps even because of thislove, for him, was less a matter of the senses than of the intellect. It was, above all, admiration and appetite for beauty; he considered reproduction a flaw of love, and pregnancy a form of insanity. He wrote on one occasion: Angels are hermaphrodite and sterile.”

“That is the kind of ad I like. Facts, facts, facts.”
—Samuel Goldwyn (18821974)
“No genuine equality, no real freedom, no true manhood or womanhood can exist on any foundation save that of pecuniary independence. As a right over a mans subsistence is a power over his moral being, so a right over a womans subsistence enslaves her will, degrades her pride and vitiates her whole moral nature.”
—Susan B. Anthony (18201907)
