“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.” --Sylvia Plath

Saturday's Quote: Stanton


"The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation. " --Elizabeth Cady Stanton

If you don't know who Stanton is, you should. She lived from 1815-1902, and during that time she was a social activist, abolitionist, and the "founding genius of the women's rights movement." (Click on the link for a quick but informative piece).
