Democratic communities have a natural taste for freedom: left to themselves they will seek it, cherish it, and view any deprivation of it with regret. But for
equality their passion is ardent, insatiable, incessant, invincible: they call for
equality in freedom; and if they cannot obtain that, they still call for

View quotes by Kahlil GibranI do not know who first invented the myth of sexual
equality. But it is a myth willfully fostered and nourished by certain semi-scientists and other fiction writers. And it has done more, I suspect, to unsettle marital happiness than any other false doctrine of this myth-ridden age.
