The study of social progress is today not less needed in literature than is the analysis of the human heart.

No writer, no matter how gifted, immortalizes himself unless he has crystallized into expressive and original phrase the eternal sentiments and yearnings of the human heart.

Literature is at once the cause and the effect of social progress.

Shakespeare speaks for the human heart but Dickens speaks for the social man and for injustices.

There has to be a global mission of human progress.

Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex.
