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 am above eighty years old; it is about time for me to be going. I have been forty years a slave and forty years free and would be here forty years more to have equal rights for all.

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

I am 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.

Christ came from God and a woman. Man had nothing to do with him.

Where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter.

The Spirit calls me, and I must go.
