If women want rights more than they got, why don’t they just take them, and not be talking about it.
Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life’s light to be determined by the darkness around me.
Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
Because of them I can now live the dream. I am the seed of the free, and I know it. I intend to bear great fruit.
I am not going to die, I’m going home like a shooting star.
Oh no, honey, I can’t read little things like letters. I read big things like men.
Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ’cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
I am above eighty years old; it is about time for me to be going. I have been forty years a slave and forty years free and would be here forty years more to have equal rights for all.
I am for keeping the thing going while things are stirring. Because if we wait till it is still, it will take a great while to get it going again.
It is hard for the old slave holding spirit to die. But die it must.
It is the mind that makes the body.
I feel safe in the midst of my enemies, for the truth is all powerful and will prevail.
If my cup won’t hold but a pint and yourn holds a quart, wouldn’t ye be mean not to let me have my little half-measure full?
