"I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves." ― Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Topic(s): Men More From Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley "My dreams were all my own; I accounted for them to nobody; they were my refuge when annoyed – my dearest pleasure when free." "Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world." "The agony of my feelings allowed me no respite; no incident occurred from which my rage and misery could not extract its food." More In Men "Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something."― Plato "The only use of an obstacle is to be overcome. All that an obstacle does with brave men is, not to frighten them, but to challenge them."― Woodrow Wilson "As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become."― Jean-Paul Sartre
