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.

Truth burns up error.

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.

I feel safe even in the midst of my enemies; for the truth is powerful and will prevail.

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.

Truth is powerful and it prevails.

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