We are so inculcated with guilt that we think that weakness is a sin or that it is some crime against nature to be submissive. Anton LaVey
I hold strongly to this: that it is better to be impetuous than circumspect; because fortune is a woman and if she is to be submissive it is necessary to beat and coerce her. Niccolò Machiavelli
If you believe that God made women to be submissive and inferior, then there is almost nothing that feminism can say to you about your place in society. Andrea Dworkin
