“The Olinka girls do not believe girls should be educated. When I asked a mother why she thought this, she said: A girl is nothing to herself; only to her husband can she become something.
What can she become? I asked.

But I am not the mother of anybody's children, I said, and I am something.”
― Alice Walker, The Color Purple

“For me revolution was never an interim “thing-to-do” before settling down; it was no fashionable club with newly minted jargon, or new kind of social life—made thrilling by risk and confrontation, made glamorous by costume. Revolution is a serious thing, the most serious thing about a revolutionary’s life. When one commits oneself to the struggle, it must be for a lifetime.”
― Angela Y. Davis, An Autobiography
