Whichever way I turn, whatever phase of social life presents itself, the same conviction comes: Independent bread alone can redeem woman from her curse of subjection to man.

Wherever women gather together failure is impossible.

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.

Organize, agitate, educate, must be our war cry.

Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done.

Your actions are your only true belongings.

I follow the Way of Love, and where Love's caravan takes its path, there is my religion, my faith.

I find that students are very strong on my issues, stronger than anyone: anti-death penalty, anti-racial profiling, campaign finance reform, questioning the anti-terrorism bill.

It's hard to say a favorite song of my father's. I listen to all his stuff; a lot of the old stuff before the '70s.
