I most sincerely doubt if any other race of women could have brought its fineness up through so devilish a fire.

All art is propaganda...I do not care a damn, for any art that is not used for propaganda.

Begin with art, because art tries to take us outside ourselves. It is a matter of trying to create an atmosphere and context so conversation can flow back and forth and we can be influenced by each other.

Harriet Tubman fought American slavery single handed and was a pioneer in that organized effort known as the Underground Railroad.

All womanhood is hampered today because the world on which it is emerging is a world that tries to worship both virgins and mothers and in the end despises motherhood and despoils virgins.

But art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows Beauty, that has music in its soul and the color of sunsets in its headkerchiefs; that can dance on a flaming world and make the world dance, too.

Education must not simply teach work-it must teach life.
