“The day has gone by when a monk can tear a Hypatia from the pursuit of philosophy and throw her to a rabble of insane monastics to be dragged to a violent death… Man has made himself a law unto himself, publishing it in his pretended "heavenly" revelations, dogmas, and statutes. Woman is not constructing a law unto herself, and she is putting it forth, not on a pretendedly supernatural, but on a natural basis.”
![“[A Buddhist monk on a pilgrimage speaks to a museum curator.] And I come here alone. For five--seven--eighteen--forty years it was in my mind that the old Law was not well followed; being overlaid, as thou knowest, with devildom, charms, and idolatry…' So it comes with all faiths.” quote by Rudyard Kipling](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e68/rudyard-kipling-527_buddhism_a-buddhist-monk-on-a-pilgrimage-speaks-t_2948002.jpg)
