Text Quotes
The belief that we some day shall be able to prevent war is, to me, one with the belief in the possibility of making humanity really human.  (Ellen Key Quotes) The simplest formula for the new conception of morality, which is beginning to be opposed to the moral dogma still esteemed by all society, but especially by the women, might be summed up in these words: Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.  (Ellen Key Quotes) In the new woman, the feeling of life will be enhanced; her experience will be more profound. Her soul life, her demands for beauty, her senses will be more developed and refined. She will be more sensitive, more delicately vibratory; she will therefore be able to be more profoundly happy and also to suffer more keenly than the woman of our time.  (Ellen Key Quotes) Altered social conditions may remove certain ailments and deformities in existing society. But the new and more beautiful society will not be formed exclusively - or even mainly - by improved conditions, but above all by more perfect human beings.  (Ellen Key Quotes) The art of natural education consists in ignoring the faults of children nine times out of ten, in avoiding immediate interference, which is usually a mistake, and devoting one’s whole vigilance to the control of the environment in which the child is growing up, to watching the education which is allowed to go on by itself.  (Ellen Key Quotes) Ambition has developed into a passion which drives women, as well as men, to great works - and small deeds. Formerly competitors in the race for men, they are now competing in the race for social tasks and distinctions.  (Ellen Key Quotes) Education can give you a skill, but a liberal education can give you dignity  (Ellen Key Quotes) Love has been in perpetual strife with monogamy  (Ellen Key Quotes) The very forces that liberty has set free work against the dangerous consequences of liberty  (Ellen Key Quotes) Is human love the growth of the human will?  (Ellen Key Quotes) Education must be based on the certainty that faults cannot be atoned for or blotted out, but must always have their consequences. At the same time, there is the other certainty that, through progressive evolution, by slow adaptation to the conditions of environment, they may be transformed.  (Ellen Key Quotes) All philanthropy is only a savoury fumigation burning at the mouth of a sewer  (Ellen Key Quotes) When one paints an ideal, one does not need to limit one’s imagination  (Ellen Key Quotes) Not observation of a duty but liberty itself is the pledge that assures fidelity  (Ellen Key Quotes) Conventionality is the tacit agreement to set appearances before reality, form before content  (Ellen Key Quotes) The genius of happiness is still so rare. To possess it means to approach life with the humility of a beggar, but to treat it with the proud generosity of a prince; to bring to its totality the deep understanding of a great poet and to each of its moments the abandonment and ingenuousness of a child  (Ellen Key Quotes) Anyone who would attempt the task of felling a virgin forest with a penknife would probably feel the same paralysis of despair that the reformer feels when confronted with existing school systems  (Ellen Key Quotes) The belief that we some day shall be able to prevent war is to me one with the belief in the possibility of making humanity really human  (Ellen Key Quotes) The emancipation of women is practically the greatest egoistic movement of the nineteenth century, and the most intense affirmation of the right of the self that history has yet seen  (Ellen Key Quotes) The educator must above all understand how to wait; to reckon all effects in the light of the future, not of the present  (Ellen Key Quotes) Love requires peace, love will dream; it cannot live upon the remnants of our time and our personality  (Ellen Key Quotes) Nothing would more effectively further the development of education than for all flogging pedagogues to learn to educate with the head instead of with the hand  (Ellen Key Quotes) Corporal punishment is as humiliating for him who gives it as for him who receives it; it is ineffective besides. Neither shame nor physical pain have any other effect than a hardening one  (Ellen Key Quotes) The home was a closed sphere touched only at its edge by the world’s evolution  (Ellen Key Quotes) Everything, everything in war is barbaric... But the worst barbarity of war is that it forces men collectively to commit acts against which individually they would revolt with their whole being  (Ellen Key Quotes) At every step the child should be allowed to meet the real experience of life; the thorns should never be plucked from his roses  (Ellen Key Quotes)
