Excerpt from Problems of the Sexes
We want to compel fortune to smile on every one, and are striving to emancipate ourselves from the cruelties of life, old age, poverty, and unhappiness.
Man is aiming to realise for himself what the gods had never dared nor wished to accomplish: happiness and harmony on this earth of ours. All happy through all and for the benefit Of all!
These things are mere Utopias! Clamour the sceptics. The time is close at hand, the enthusiasts answer them. The effort has sublime beauty, we maintain, even though it should lead to disappointment. Man is great especially through the loftiness of his desires, the immensity of his will. Progress is due solely to dis satisfaction with the existing condition of things.
Besides, we shall never ask enough of life, whose possibilities extend farther than our audacious dreams.
If it Often shows itself deaf to our appeals, it is be cause we do not know how to speak to it. Above all, we ask from it impossible, and therefore unrealisable, things. Thus we have proclaimed the charter of man, while forgetting that of woman. Disdaining the law of equilibrium, we have wished to make one half of the human race ascend very high and have left the other very low.
