I want to hold a series of meetings all over the country and get the facts before the American people

I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.

You ought to be out raising hell. This is the fighting age. Put on your fighting clothes.

I know that there are no limits to which the powers of privilege will not go to keep the workers in slavery

Injustice boils in men's hearts as does steel in its cauldron, ready to pour forth, white hot, in the fullness of time.

Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living

Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts.

If they want to hang me, let them. And on the scaffold I will shout Freedom for the working class!

The employment of children is doing more to fill prisons, insane asylums, almshouses, reformatories, slums, and gin shops than all the efforts of reformers are doing to improve society.

I'm not a lady, I'm a hellraiser

God almighty made women and the Rockefeller gang of thieves made the ladies.

There is no glory in honesty if it is destructive. And no shame in dishonesty if its goal is to offer grace.

Writing novels is not an illness that need be recovered from. It is my work

It's murder to doubt yourself in life. It took until I was 45 to get to that point. As hard as it is in your work, it's harder in your life. But it can be done.

All the backs in the history of this game are the same when there isn't any hole to run through.

I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.

I find it strange that there isn't more of a melting pot of language within the pop charts. I feel it becomes really two dimensional when everything's in English.

Sometimes I feel as though I'm trying to take a hit for the team so that other people then can move forward. I'm like, "Look, I just laid out all of my stuff, so what's the worst that can happen?".

Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down.

You can live, provided you live; that is, you can live for ever, provided you live a good life.

When everyone thinks alike, no one thinks very much.
