Mother Jones

I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword. I will tell the truth wherever I please.

My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong.

I have never had a vote, and I have raised hell all over this country. You don't need a vote to raise hell! You need convictions and a voice!

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

Exeter was, I suspect, more crucial in my life than in the lives of most members of my class, and conceivably, than in the lives of almost anyone else who ever attended the school.

When I was 16, I used to hang out at the Nambucca pub in North London and see The Libertines play live.
