One Baby Is A Patient Baby, And Waits Indefinitely Until Its Mother Is Ready To Feed It. The Other Baby Is An Impatient Baby And Cries Lustily, Screams And Kicks And Makes Everybody Unpleasant Until It Is Fed. Well, We Know Perfectly Well Which Baby Is Attended To First. That Is The Whole History Of Politics.

Often I Have Heard The Taunt That Suffragists Are Women Who Have Failed To Find Any Normal Outlet For Their Emotions, And Are Therefore Soured And Disappointed Beings.

Better That We Should Die Fighting Than Be Outraged And Dishonored... Better To Die Than To Live In Slavery.
