"The prolonged slavery of women is the darkest page in human history." ― Elizabeth Cady Stanton Topic(s): History More From Elizabeth Cady Stanton "To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes." "The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstition of the Christian religion." "The religious superstitions of women perpetuate their bondage more than all other adverse influences." More In History "Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history."― Plato "They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of fear."― G. Gordon Liddy "Jews have a special relationship to books, and the Haggadah has been translated more widely, and reprinted more often, than any other Jewish book. It is not a work of history or philosophy, not a prayer book, user’s manual, timeline, poem or palimpsest – and yet it is all these things."― Jonathan Safran Foer
