Oh no, honey, I can’t read little things like letters. I read big things like men.

I am above eighty years old ... I suppose I am about the only colored woman that goes about to speak for the rights of the colored women. I want to keep the thing stirring, now that the ice is cracked.

I did not run away, I walked away by daylight….

Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.

Oh no, honey, I can’t read little things like letters. I read big things like men.

I am not going to die, I'm going home like a shooting star.

If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it?
