“Unless women are prepared to fight politically they must be content to be ignored politically.”

Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.

It occurred to me that I just didn’t see how I could go ahead and continue to eat meat. It just seemed so… cannibalistic to me. And so, I’m a vegetarian, and I have been ever since.

Food simply isn’t important to me.

To me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

There will never be a new world order until women are a part of it.

Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women.

Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction.

We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote.

The Woman’s Party is made up of women of all races, creeds and nationalities who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women.

I always feel the movement is a sort of mosaic. Each of us puts in one little stone, and then you get a great mosaic at the end.

Mr. President how long must women wait to get their liberty? Let us have the rights we deserve.

When you put your hand to the plow, you can’t put it down until you get to the end of the row.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.

I’m tired of fighting. I’ve always known that I can’t be an action star all my life.

Take time to learn about the lives of women around the world-and try to play a small part in their fight to create the future they deserve.

People want to be part of something larger than themselves. They want to be part of something they’re really proud of, that they’ll fight for, sacrifice for, that they trust.

There are ultimately two choices in life: to fight it or to embrace it. If you fight it you will lose – if you embrace it you become one with it and you’ll be lived.

Oh say, can you see, it’s really such a mess. Every inch of earth is a fighting nest. Giant pencial and lipstick tube shaped things, continue to rain and cause scream and pain, and the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

Teach us, Good Lord, to give and not count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and not to ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do thy will.

Be kind, be all sympathy, for each and every human being is forced to fight against himself.
