"If the Freemasons had wanted to take a saint of the Catholic Church as their patron, they would have designated exactly who they chose. On the contrary, they remain vague: they call themselves Brothers of St. John, but which St. John, the Precursor or the Apostle Evangelist? They do not care and solemnly commemorate both of these figures, St. John of Winter and St. John of Summer."

"Freemasonry, if not formally, essentially dates back to ancient times: over a long series of centuries, it was always recognized as a sanctuary of good morals, a refuge for innocence, a school of wisdom, a temple of philanthropy: at the threshold of this temple, Freemasons lay down or forget their noble titles and vain pomp, because the level of equality restores each individual, in the Lodge, to the genuine conditions of his being, and Freemasons recognize and call each other Brothers."

"The material here is in reality tremendous, downright crushing, terrible... And not at all terrible are the loud phrases about the traffic in women’s flesh, about the white slaves, about prostitution being a corroding fester of large cities, and so on, and so on... an old hurdy-gurdy of which all have tired! No, horrible are the everyday, accustomed trifles, these business-like, daily, commercial reckonings, this thousand year old science of amatory practice, this prosaic usage, determined by the ages. In these unnoticeable nothings are completely dissolved such feelings as resentment, humiliation, shame. There remains a dry profession, a contract, an agreement, a well-nigh honest petty trade, no better, no worse than, say, the trade in groceries.

"One of my greatest challenges has been the assumption that, as a young woman in leadership, I am naive. People often sexualize my appearance and attribute my success to factors other than my skills and abilities. It is a very wrong perception that is very common. This stereotype and objectification can deter young people from pursuing political careers and exclude them from important discussions, despite their efforts to make their voices heard. It also distances young women from discussions that matter. Because you really have to have a thick skin to relentlessly have your voice in there and yet if you already have an environment that is disruptive of their existence, then you are not going to have many young women in leadership to be reaching out and advocating for affirmative action of women entering the space which should not be the case."
