    “There is a “sanctity” involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.”

    “And men left down their work and came,
    And women with petticoats coloured like flame.
    And little bare feet that were blue with cold,
    Went dancing back to the age of gold,
    And all the world went gay, went gay,
    For half an hour in the street to-day.”
    —“Seumas” “O’Sullivan” (1879–1958)

    “There is great fear expressed on all sides lest this war shall be made a war for the negro. I am willing that it shall be. It is a war to found an empire on the negro in slavery, and shame on us if we do not make it a war to establish the negro in freedom—against whom the whole nation, North and South, East and West, in one mighty conspiracy, has combined from the beginning.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
