One thing is certain: When the time has come, nothing which is man-made will subsist. One day, all human accomplishments will be reduced to a pile of ashes. But every single child to whom a woman has given birth will live forever, for he has been given an immortal soul made to God's image and likeness. In this light, the assertion of de Beauvoir [a feminist from the early-mid 1900s] that "women produce nothing" becomes particularly ludicrous." -Alice von Hildebrand, The Privilege of Being a Woman
To say that man is created in the image and likeness of God means that man is called to exist "for" others, to become a gift. --John Paul II, Mulieris Dignitatem
