    I might be driven to sell your love for peace,

    It well may be. I do not think I would.
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    ... we have broken down the self-respecting spirit of man with nursery tales and priestly threats, and we dare to assert, that in proportion as we have prostrated our understanding and degraded our nature, we have exhibited virtue, wisdom, and happiness, in our words, our actions, and our lives!
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    Then, though darkened, you shall say,
    When friends fail, and Princes frown,
    Virtue is the roughest way,
    But proves at night a bed of down.
    —Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)
