peace coffee dirty
Countermovements among racists and sexists and nazifiers are just as relentless as dirt on a coffee table. . . . Every housewife knows that if you don't sooner or later dust . . . the whole place will be dirty again.
peace organize
Don't agonize, organize.
peace fun winning
You've got to rattle your cage door. You've got to let them know that you're in there, and that you want out. Make noise. Cause trouble. You may not win right away, but you'll sure have a lot more fun.
peace freedom baths
Freedom is like taking a bath: You got to keep doing it every day.

depression moving daddy
Unless you are political or intellectual, events like the Depression are seen as personal events. We thought of the Depression as something that made the pipes freeze; we thought it hit us because Daddy didn't move his taxi stand and because he broke his hip. It was only later I found out it was a national phenomenon.
country disease dollars
The spending of our tax dollars by the Pentagon represents the greatest social disease of our country; I call it Pentagonorrhea.
teacher ambition brain
... anybody with the brains and energy to become a teacher ought to want to become something better.
mistake gun thinking
I think unity is a mistake.... If I were the Establishment and had the big loaded guns of the various oppressive institutions....I would much prefer to see one lion come through the door than 500 mice.
