"The world has become sad because a puppet was once melancholy. The nihilist, that strange martyr who has no faith, who goes to the stake without enthusiasm, and dies for what he does not believe in, is a purely literary product. He was invented by Turgenev, and completed by Dostoevsky. Robespierre came out of the pages of Rousseau as surely as the People's Palace rose out debris of a novel. Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy it, but moulds it to its purpose."

"Do you understand now why books are hated and feared? Because they reveal the pores on the face of life. The comfortable people want only the faces of the full moon, wax, faces without pores, hairless, expressionless."

"There is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex. As well speak of a female liver."
Sex
"The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society - more briefly, to find your real job, and do it."
Society
"To attain happiness in another world we need only to believe something, while to secure it in this world we must do something."
Happiness
"The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply."
Food
"The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses."
Man
"When the mother of the race is free, we shall have a better world, by the easy right of birth and by the calm, slow, friendly forces of evolution."

"Death? Why this fuss about death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil."

"Only as we live, think, feel, and work outside the home, do we become humanly developed, civilized, socialized."
