    Her wrongs are ... indissolubly linked with all undefended woe, all helpless suffering, and the plenitude of her “rights” will mean the final triumph of all right over might, the supremacy of the moral forces of reason and justice and love in the government of the nation. God hasten the day.
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that.... Yes, yes, it’s the most comical thing in the world.
