“How prone we are to come to the consideration of every question with heads and hearts pre-occupied!

To question our prejudices seems nothing less than sacrilege; to break the chains of our ignorance, nothing short of impiety!”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“He first deceas’d; She for a little tri’d
