Matching Quote
"Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an
elopement
by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father's curse, mother's moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks."
-Emma Goldman
