“The demonstrations are always early in the morning, at six o’clock. It’s wonderful, because I’m not doing anything at six anyway, so why not demonstrate?... When you’ve written to your president, to your congressman, to your senator and nothing, nothing has come of it, you take to the streets.”
—Erica Bouza, U.S. jewelry designer and social activist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 7, by Studs Terkel (1988)

“When I heard the Earth-song,
I was no longer brave;
My avarice cooled
Like lust in the chill of the grave.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
