Quote by Luisa Capetillo

“El procedimiento que se emplea actualmente es contra la moral. Yo opino que el hombre no debe pertenecer á ninguna mujer antes de su completo desarrollo y llegado este debe escojer la que realmente ame con toda su alma y hacerla su mujer, y crear una familia. Si no congenian y se ven obligados á separarse puede cada uno elegir de nuevo. Esto es lo correcto y lo natural. Para mi el matrimonio es un error, tal como está establecido. En la actual sociedad la mujer se casa por seguir la costumbre.”

“To escape from such thoughts I would go back to my drawing board and plunge into the making of pictures. And now I found a new means of escape-lectures and libraries. Both enabled me to get away for a little while from my discontented thoughts because of loss of freedom through wedlock. Lately I realized anew that my education was inadequate. So many questions came up that I couldn't answer, and I needed to fortify myself with such answers. By listening to the lectures and reading a wide variety of books I nursed the seed which had been planted in my mind by Keir Hardie's speech in Denver, and by Myron Reed's discussions of the human struggle there.”

“Trust me, divorce is not a hall pass. While it can feel like freedom to some, it can feel like death to others. Either way, it inevitably comes rushing upstream carrying a containership of grief and guilt. It’s like a bad dream, even when you didn’t realize you were asleep.”
