Leopold von Sacher-Masoch Quotes About Slaves

Quotes about: Slaves

• Woman, as Nature has created her and as she is currently reared by man, is his enemy and can only be his slave or his despot, but never his companion. She will be able to become his companion only when she has the same rights as he, when she is his equal in education and work.
