I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion and adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved. I'm a housewife and a prostitute, both of us living in the same body and doing battle with each other. Paulo Coelho
When a man says to me, 'Let us work together in the great cause you have undertaken, and let me be your companion and aid, for I admire you more than I have ever admired any other woman,' then I shall say, 'I am yours truly'; but he must ask me to be his equal, not his slave. Susan B. Anthony

Abraham Lincoln quote: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This..."
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Abraham Lincoln
But you answer, that the Constitution recognizes property in slaves. It would be sufficient, then, to reply, that this constitutional recognition must be void, because it is repugnant to the law of nature and of nations. William H. Seward
It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master. Ayn Rand
Natalie Clifford Barney quote: "To be one's own master is to be the slave of self."
To be one's own master is to be the slave of self. Natalie Clifford Barney

He confuses and confounds time, place, and natural conditions. He mutilates his dog, his horse, and his slave. He destroys and defaces all things; he loves all that is deformed and monstrous; he will have nothing as nature made it, not even himself, who must learn his paces like a saddle-horse, and be shaped to his... Jean-Jacques Rousseau

So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had... Sylvia Plath
