Cho Nam-Joo
“This was a time when the government had implemented birth control policies called “family planning” to keep population growth under control. Abortion due to medical problems had been legal for ten years at that point, and checking the sex of the fetus and aborting females was common practice, as if “daughter” was a medical problem.”
Cho Nam-Joo, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982

Le Corbusier
“Truth to tell, the modern man is bored to tears in his home; so he goes to his club. The modern woman is bored outside her boudoir; she goes to tea-parties. The modern man and woman are bored at home; they go to night-clubs.
But lesser folk who have no clubs gather together in the evening under the chandelier and hardly dare to walk through the labyrinth of their furniture which takes up the whole room and is all their fortune and their pride.”
Le Corbusier, Towards a New Architecture

E.M. Forster
“Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. There one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of Socialism — that true Socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners.”
E.M. Forster, Where Angels Fear to Tread

Polybius
“Greek statesmen, if entrusted with a single talent, though protected by ten checking-clerks, as many seals and twice as many witnesses, yet cannot be induced to keep faith; whereas among the Romans, in their magistracies and embassies, men have the handling of a great amount of money, and yet from pure respect for their oath keep their faith intact.”
Polybius, The Histories

Mikhail Bakunin
“To my utter despair I have discovered, and discover every day anew, that there is in the masses no revolutionary idea or hope or passion.”
Mikhail Bakunin
