    “As humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy.”
    —Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)

    “Forbear to mention what thou canst not praise.”
    —Matthew Prior (1664–1721)

    —Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
