Simplicity and sincerity generally go hand in hand, as both proceed from a love of truth (Mary Wollstonecraft Quotes)
Friendship and domestic happiness are continually praised; yet how little is there of either in the world, because it requires more cultivation of mind to keep awake affection, even in our own hearts, than the common run of people suppose (Mary Wollstonecraft Quotes)
How frequently has melancholy and even misanthropy taken possession of me, when the world has disgusted me, and friends have proven unkind. I have then considered myself as a particle broken off from the grand mass of mankind (Mary Wollstonecraft Quotes)
Weakness may excite tenderness, and gratify the arrogant pride of man; but the lordly caresses of a protector will not gratify a noble mind that pants for, and deserves to be respected. Fondness is a poor substitute for friendship (Mary Wollstonecraft Quotes)

I love man as my fellow; but his scepter, real, or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage; and even then the submission is to reason, and not to man (Mary Wollstonecraft Quotes)
We cannot, without depraving our minds, endeavour to please a lover or husband, but in proportion as he pleases us (Mary Wollstonecraft Quotes)
The mind will ever be unstable that has only prejudices to rest on, and the current will run with destructive fury when there are no barriers to break its force (Mary Wollstonecraft Quotes)
When man, governed by reasonable laws, enjoys his natural freedom, let him despise woman, if she do not share it with him (Mary Wollstonecraft Quotes)

Executions, far from being useful examples to the survivors, have, I am persuaded, a quite contrary effect, by hardening the heart they ought to terrify.
