1 " The truest kindness to any woman is to provide her with an opportunity for self-expression in some constructive field: to work, not at home with cook-stove and scrubbing brush, but outside, independently, in the world of men and affairs. "
― William Moulton Marston
2 " The only hope for civilization is the greater freedom, development and equality of women. "
3 " They're going to drown me in milk--what a waste of good baby-food! "
― William Moulton Marston , The Wonder Woman Chronicles, Vol. 1
4 " As lovely as Aphrodite - as wise as Athena - with the speed of Mercury and the strength of Hercules - she is known only as Wonder Woman. "
― William Moulton Marston , Wonder Woman: The Golden Age Omnibus Vol. 2
5 " Righting the wrongs, defending America from the enemies of democracy and fighting for downtrodden women and children, in a man made world, Wonder Woman wins the hearts and leads the youth of America to victory over evil! "
6 " It seemed to me, from a psychological angle, that the comics' worst offense was their blood-curdling masculinity. A male hero, at best, lacks the qualities of maternal love and tenderness which are as essential to a normal child as the breath of life. Suppose your child's ideal becomes a superman who uses his extraordinary powers to help the weak. The most important ingredient in the human happiness recipe still is missing - love. "
7 " Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman. "
8 " It's too bad for us 'literary' enthusiast, but it's the truth nevertheless — pictures tell any story more effectively than words. "
9 " And now we turn to another blank page. A future standing before us like freshly fallen snow. Awaiting that first mark, that first step forward. A new journey to be started. A new promise to be fulfilled. A new page to be written. Go forth unto this waiting world with pen in hand, all you young scribes, the open book awaits. Be creative. Be adventurous. Be original. And above all else, be young. For youth is your greatest weapon, your greatest tool. Use it wisely. "
10 " Be careful in the world of men, Diana. They do not deserve you. -Queen Hippolyta (Wonder Woman) "
