"Mungkin benih penyempurnaan palsu, imoralitas, dan kesombongan, pernah ditumpahkan oleh yang agung. Lemah, makhluk buatan, diangkat di atas keinginan umum dan pembelotan ras mereka, secara prematur dan tidak alami, merusak fondasi kebajikan, dan menyebarkan korupsi ke seluruh masyarakat!"

--- Mary Wollstonecraft

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Weak, artificial beings, raised above the common wants and defections of their race, in a premature and unnatural manner, undermine the very foundation of virtue, and spread corruption through the whole mass of society!
