Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life's light to be determined by the darkness around me.

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

I am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while the water is stirring, I will step into the pool.

If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.

Because of them I can now live the dream. I am the seed of the free, and I know it. I intend to bear great fruit.

If my cup won't hold but a pint and yourn holds a quart, wouldn't ye be mean not to let me have my little half-measure full?

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