“Shakespeare's sister as I had made it, is that any woman born with a great gift in the sixteenth century would certainly have gone crazed, shot herself, or ended her days in some lonely cottage outside the village, half witch, half wizard, feared and mocked at.

“A woman is not a toy or a plaything. A woman is a friend, companion, and support of a man. A woman is an equal of a man. A woman shows a man what love and care is all about. A woman makes a house into a home. A woman bears children and carries forward the hope of past generation to the future generation. A woman has dreams and hopes of her own. If you consider yourself a man then you must love and support the women you meet in your life, but don't ever try to take advantage of them, or to bring them down.”
