Anna Julia Cooper

Life must be something more than dilettante speculation.

The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class-it is the cause of human kind, the very birthright of humanity.

A race cannot be purified from without.

The mere assemblage of peace loving people to interchange convincing reasons for their common faith, mere exhortation and argument to the public in favor of peace in general fall short of the mark.

We all have our beliefs or our agnosticism.

I am convinced that the reason so many fans leave Dodger Stadium after the seventh inning is that they become bored.
