Ingiliz yazar (Violet Mary Firth Evans) Dion Fortune'in dogum yildonumu (6 Aralik 1890)
“Dikkat dagildigida, soz konusu gucun yonu de bununla birlikte dagilacaktir. Buyuk okult icin bir kuvvetin kullanilmasi tipki yuksek gucte bir otomobilin yuksek bir hizda kullanilmasina benzer. Her sey kontrole baglidir; bunun icin yeterli kuvvete sahip oldugunuz surece, ayaginiz uzerine basarsiniz. Sayisiz insan guclerin davet edilmesini deneyimleyebilir fakat pek azi kendi sinirlarinin otesine gecmeden bunlarin gercek dogasini fark edebilir.” Ask ve Evliligin Ezoterik Felsefesi
"If attention waver, the direction of the power will waver with it.To use a big occult potency is like driving a high-powered car at a high speed, all depends on the control; unless you have nerve for it, you are safer on your feet. Many people experiment in the invocation offerces, but few are aware of their reality until they find themselves out of their depth."
“Eski Yunan sisteminde en yuksek gelisim asamasina sahip kadinlar, nadiren cocuk doguruyordu cunku cokesli olma aliskanligina sahip kadinlar genelde kisirdi. Ayrica, yalnizca dogurganliklarindan oturu takdir goren bu ulkedeki anneler, kisilik ya da zihinsel gelisimleri acisindan cok az egitim gormuslerdi. Dolayisiyla, kendileri egitimsiz olduklari icin cocuklarini egitme niteligine sahip degillerdi. Gunumuzde genelde, erken cocukluk doneminin kisiligin olusumunda son derece etkin oldugu kabul edilmektedir, bilgisiz ve deneyimsiz kadinlarin kendi sinirli yapilarini asarak cocuklarina kendilerinin sahip olmadigi bir seyi vermesi mumkun gorunmemektedir. Turklerde, yonetici siniflar arasinda ulusal capta yuksek bir karakter standardi gelisiminin basarisizliga ugramasinin haremde yasayan annelerin cehaletinden kaynaklandigi soylenir. Oysa kadinlarini tecrit etmeye butcesi yetmeyen koylu cok daha iyi bir karakter gelistirmisti.”
"By the Greek system women of the highest evolution seldom gave children to the race, for the women of promiscuous habits are usually sterile. Moreover, the mothers of the nation, prized only for fecundity, were given little culture of either character or intellect, and were, therefore, unfitted for the training of their children, being themselves untrained. It is generally agreed nowadays that the influences of early childhood are extremely important in character building, and that ignorant and inexperienced women cannot transcend their own natures and give to their children what they do not themselves possess. It is said that the failure of the Turkish nation to evolve a high standard of national character among its ruling classes is due to the backwardness of its harem-dwelling mothers, whereas the peasantry, who cannot afford to seclude their woman, are of much better typr of character."
