“Will part of this nation rejoice at seeing the rest oppressed, and reward a leader who has cunningly manipulated its fears and prejudices? Or will a majority of voters insist on a leader . . . who will appeal to their birthright of idealism and their love of justice, instead of to their heritage of racism and special privilege?”
Shirley Chisholm, Unbought And Unbossed

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The theory of books is noble. The scholar of the first age received into him the world around; brooded thereon; gave it the new arrangement of his own mind, and uttered it again. It came into him, life; it went out from him, truth. It came to him, business; it went from him, poetry. It was dead fact; now, it is quick thought. It can stand, and it can go. It now endures, it now flies, it now inspires. Precisely in proportion to the depth of the mind from which it issued, so high does it soar, so long does it sing.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, The American Scholar: Self-Reliance, Compensation

“You can't argue with someone whose premises are completely different from yours, where there is not even an inch of common ground”
Shirley Chisholm

Letty Cottin Pogrebin
“Now I think people today should envy any of us who lived through the early seventies. It was such a time of hope and possibility, and ferment, and progress, and change, and media attention, and brilliant activist women everywhere you turned.”
Letty Cottin Pogrebin
