Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Our affections as well as our bodies are in perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A blue-stocking is the scourge of her husband, children, friends, servants, and every one. [Fr., Une femme bel-esprit est le fleau de son mari, de ses enfants, de ses amis, de ses valets, et tout le monde.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Her dignity consists in being unknown to the world her glory is in the esteem of her husband her pleasures in the happiness of her family.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I am not made like any of those I have seen. I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Girls must be thwarted early in life.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
