“In the midst of all these innumerable forms of a common protest and universal ill-ease there has grown up one definite body of doctrine whose adherents are called Communists and who desired the total subversion of what had been, hitherto unquestioned among civilized European men, the general doctrines of property and individual freedom.” MenWisdomBodyFormPoliticsIndividualCommonEconomyUniversalPropertyIllDoctrineEaseLiberalismProtestMidstCivilizedCommunistDefiniteIndividual FreedomSubversion Author:Hilaire Belloc
“Atheism ... in its philosophic aspect refuses allegiance not merely to a definite concept of God, but it refuses all servitude to the God idea, and opposes the theistic principle as such. Gods in their individual function are not half as pernicious as the principle of theism which represents the belief in a supernatural, or even omnipotent, power to rule the earth and man upon it. It is the absolutism of theism, its pernicious influence upon humanity, its paralyzing effect upon thought and action, which Atheism is fighting with all its power.” MenIdeasActionEarthHumanityFightingIndividualBeliefHalfPrinciplesAtheismInfluenceEffectsConceptsAspectFunctionRefusePositive AtheismDefiniteAllegianceServitudePerniciousTheismOmnipotentThoughts And ActionsPhilosophicAbsolutism Book:Mother Earth Bulletin Source: Mother Earth Bulletin

“In the older times it was seldom said to little girls, as it always has been said to boys, that they ought to have some definite plan, while they were children, what to be and do when they were grown up. There was usually but one path open before them, to become good wives and housekeepers. And the ambition of most girls was to follow their mothers' footsteps in this direction; a natural and laudable ambition. But girls, as well as boys, must often have been conscious of their own peculiar capabilities,--must have desired to cultivate and make use of their individual powers.” WellsChildrenLittlesHas BeensSaidUseMotherGirlIndividualNaturalBoysPathWifePlansOughtAmbitionConsciousPeculiarCapabilityDefiniteFootstepsGood WifeHousekeepersIndividual Power Book:A New England girlhood Source: A New England girlhood
