Excerpt from Woman in History

The powers of the attraction of the human body are not to be despised and looked down upon as un important and secondary, and therefore should not be misused. We can not separate what God did not separate; He speaks of the bodily and the spiritual; it is always the two, the duo, nor do we study the one without the other; the evil which arises from the power of the body is the misuse, the abuse and waste of power, God-given, and the confusing of it with the devil's foils and follies.

All strong lives in history, secular and sacred, have felt both powers - the spiritual and the bodily; it has been a conflict in every great life Which should ascend, which should control, which should lead, but both have ever been present. In the greatest lives the spiritual has won, but we have sad examples of those near perfect in their appreciation and industry, whose spiritual side has been overshadowed by the flesh and its demands for a quieting which can be but temporary and un satisfying.

Paganism recognized the existence and reality of the body, but the soul and its immortality were not understood and not thought about; there were those living in the dark days before Christ who believed in absolutely nothing, not even paganism; not in Zeus, Jupiter or Minerva.
