Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The home is a human institution. All human institutions are open to improvement.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The peculiarity of all death-based religions is that their subject-matter is entirely outside of facts. Men could think and think, talk and argue, advance, deny, assert, and controversy, and write innumerable books, without being hampered at any time by any fact.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
all social relations exist and grow in the human mind. That one despot can rule over a million other men rests absolutely on their state of mind. They believe that he does let them change their minds, and he does not.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Legitimate sex-competition brings out all that is best in man.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The home is the centre and circumference, the start and the finish, of most of our lives.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A concept is stronger than a fact.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
