She goes through the vale of death alone, each time a babe is born. As it is the right neither of man nor the state to coerce her into this ordeal, so it is her right to decide whether she will endure it. – Margaret Sanger
No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother. – Margaret Sanger
When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning, not the result of ignorance or accident, its children will become the foundation of a new race. – Margaret Sanger
War, famine, poverty and oppression of the workers will continue while woman makes life cheap. They will cease only when she limits her reproductivity and human life is no longer a thing to be wasted. – Margaret Sanger
I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and Im dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. Theyre nowhere. I know theyre nowhere and they dont exist, but if nowhere means thats where they are, thats where I want to be. – Maurice Sendak
