The oyster-women lock’d their fish up,
More quotes by Samuel Butler
Love is a boy by poets styl'd;
Then spare the rod and spoil the child.
Doubtless the pleasure is as great
Of being cheated as to cheat.
As men of inward light are wont
To turn their optics in upon 't.
For those that fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.
Have always been at daggers-drawing,
And one another clapper-clawing.

The worker is the slave of capitalist society, the female worker is the slave of that slave.
To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal.
