I have not come into this world to make men better, but to make use of their weaknesses.
- Adolf Hitler (1941) ·

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings — always darker, emptier, simpler.
- Friedrich Nietzsche (1882) ·
God is dead; but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown. — And we — we still have to vanquish his shadow, too.

There are no facts, only interpretations.
- Friedrich Nietzsche (1887) ·
Our laws force women into celibacy on the one hand, or abortion on the other. Both conditions are declared by eminent medical authorities to be injurious to health.
- Margaret Sanger (1918) ·
Birth control is the first important step woman must take toward the goal of her freedom. It is the first step she must take to be man’s equal. It is the first step they must both take toward human emancipation.
- Margaret Sanger (1918) ·
We had gotten over the feeling that one experience was going to make you enlightened forever. We saw that it wasn't going to be that simple.

- Sojourner Truth (1851) ·
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man — when I could get it — and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
- Sojourner Truth (1851) ·
