“Some of us who sit upon this platform have many a time been clamored down, and told that we had no right to speak, and that we were out of our place in public meetings; far be it from us, when women assemble, and a man has a thought in his soul, burning for utterance, to retaliate upon him.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.”

Hating his God, but what he was was plain:
An old kind man brave in his burning pride.”
