Lydia Maria Child
“We first crush people to the earth, and then claim the right of trampling on them forever, because they are prostrate.”
Lydia Maria Child

Wilhelm Reich
“And the truth must finally lie in that which every oppressed individual feels within himself but hasn't the courage to express”
Wilhelm Reich, Beyond Psychology: Letters and Journals 1934-1939

Anne Bradstreet
“Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.”
Anne Bradstreet

Wilhelm Reich
“It is high time for the living to get tough, for toughness is indispensable in the struggle to safeguard and develop the life-force; this will not detract from their goodness, as long as they stand courageously by the truth. There is ground for hope in the fact that among millions of decent, hard-working people there are only a few plague-ridden individuals, who do untold harm by appealing to the dark, dangerous drives of the armored average man and mobilizing him for political murder. There is but one antidote to the average man's predisposition to plague: his own feelings for true life. The life force does not seek power but demands only to play its full and acknowledged part in human affairs. It manifests itself through love, work and knowledge.”
Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Little Man!

Frederick Douglass
“Slaves are generally expected to sing as well as to work.”
Frederick Douglass
