Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I would confide to you perhaps my secret profession of faith - which is ... which is ... that let us say and do what we please and can ... there is a natural inferiority of mind in women - of the intellect ... not by any means, of the moral nature - and that the history of Art and of genius testifies to this fact openly.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The exchange of sympathy for gratitude is the most princely thing!
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
A woman's pity sometimes makes her mad.
