Famous quotes containing the words word and/or order:
“There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about colored women, and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before. So I’m for keeping the thing going while things are stirring; because if we wait till it is still, it will take a great while to get it going again.”
—Sojourner Truth (1797–1883)
““I have said no
To everything, in order to get at myself.
I have wiped away moonlight like mud....””
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
