‘I please myself, and care not else who loves me.’
‘Though I cannot be Henry the Fifth, or Charles the Second, yet I endeavour to be

'If all men are born free, how
is it that all women are

'I have, through the whole course of my life, acted in contradiction to all points
of regularity.'
'Ye dogs, I have more wounds about me than you have fingers.'
‘What my eyes have seen I think it is my duty to relate.’
‘I love, and only love, the fairer sex, and thus beloved by them in turn, my heart revolts from any love but theirs.’
‘Why should I bear it only because I am a woman?’
