Quote by Mary Wollstonecraft

I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour.

I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker, presumably advocating for gender equality, desires a society where gender distinctions hold little significance, save for instances where love influences one's actions. In other words, the speaker wishes for a society where gender does not determine how individuals are treated or restricted, except when love is the motivating factor behind their actions. This quote conveys a vision of a society free from gender-based limitations and discrimination, where people are judged and valued solely based on their capacity to love.

In every war zone that I've been in, there has been a reality and then there has been the public perception of why the war was being fought. In every crisis, the issues have been far more complex than the public has been allowed to know.

She was the smile that shed light all around her.

Love songs cause us to move slowly and fluidly, for example, while songs of joy inspire us to dance in a full-body aerobic way.
