    “Now, were I once at home, and in good satire,
    I’d try conclusions with those Janizaries,
    And show them what an intellectual war is.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name!”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    “By act of Congress, male officers are gentlemen, but by act of God, we are ladies. We don’t have to be little mini-men and try to be masculine and use obscene language to come across. I can take you and flip you on the floor and put your arms behind your back and you’ll never move again, without your ever knowing that I can do it.”
    —Sherian Grace Cadoria (b. 1940)
