Quote by Subramanya Bharathi

“ஆணும் பெண்ணும் நிகரெனக் கொள்வதால் அறிவி லோங்கி,இவ் வையம் தழைக்குமாம்; பூணு நல்லறத் தோடிங்குப் பெண்ணுருப் போந்து நிற்பது தாய்சிவ சக்தியாம்; நாணும் அச்சமும் நாட்கட்கு வேண்டுமாம்; ஞான நல்லறம் வீர சுதந்திரம் பேணு நற்கடிப் பெண்ணின் குணங்களாம்; பெண்மைத் தெய்வத்தின் பேச்சுக்கள் கேட்டிரோ!”
