I wish that I had bridged the feminist movement and the anti-war movement better than I did.
Bernardine DohrnI wish I could take back some of the things I said and some of the things I did. But in the bigger picture, I don't feel that it was violent and terrible.

It always felt embattled and small. It always, almost always, was a small group of people relative to the opposition around.
