—Woman’s Loyal League (founded May 1861)
“What I fear is being in the presence of evil and doing nothing. I fear that more than death.”

“The essence of the modern state is that the universal be bound up with the complete freedom of its particular members and with private well-being, that thus the interests of family and civil society must concentrate themselves on the state....

—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
