Written laws are like spider's webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and the poor, but would be torn in pieces by the rich and powerful.

Summary

This quote highlights the inherent inequality in legal systems. It suggests that written laws may have loopholes that enable wealthy and influential individuals to escape the consequences of their actions, while disadvantaged individuals are more likely to be ensnared by the system. This implies that there is a disparity in the way the law is applied and that it may favor the privileged. Ultimately, it questions the fairness and effectiveness of a legal system that fails to treat all individuals equally.

I have urged on woman independence of man, not that I do not

I have urged on woman independence of man, not that I do not think the sexes mutually needed by one another, but because in woman this fact has led to an excessive devotion, which has cooled love, degraded marriage and prevented it her sex from being what it should be to itself or the other. I wish woman to live, first for God's sake. Then she will not take what is not fit for her from a sense of weakness and poverty. Then if she finds what she needs in man embodied, she will know how to love and be worthy of being loved.
