Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman Quotes

“We did not marry. It is difficult to recommend any thing to indiscriminate adoption, contrary to the established rules and prejudices of mankind; but certainly nothing can be so ridiculous upon the face of it, or so contrary to the genuine march of sentiment, as to require the overflowing of the soul to wait upon a ceremony, and that which, wherever delicacy and imagination exist, is of all things most sacredly private, to blow a trumpet before it, and to record the moment when it
has arrived at its climax.”
― William Godwin, Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
