What do you do to keep your sanity? You come back to the real world.”
—Wilma Rudolph (19401994)
“Work apace, apace, apace, apace;
Honest labour bears a lovely face;”
—Thomas Dekker (1572?1632?)
“The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.”
—Aneurin Bevan (18971960)
“... the black girls didnt get these pills because their black ministers were up on the pulpit saying that birth control pills were black genocide.

And if you cant control your reproduction, you cant control your life.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
