"With all this land, why is there no room for the Apache? Why does the White-Eye want all the land?"

Sitting Bull

"If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man, he would have made me so in the first place."

Henry David Thoreau

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

John Brown

"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away but with blood. I had as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."

Sojourner Truth

“If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.”

Albert Camus

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

Jean-Paul Satre

"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die."
