I can do as much work as any man ... We do as much, we eat as much, we want as much. What we want is a little money. You men know that you get as much again as women when you write, or for what you do. When we get our rights, we shall not have to come to you for money, for then we shall have money enough of our own.

When I left the house of bondage I left everything behind. I wanted to keep nothing of Egypt on me, and so I went to the Lord and asked him to give me a new name.

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.

The Spirit calls me, and I must go.

We do as much, we eat as much, we want as much.

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.

Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.
