Saint Iscariot
Mother Jones
“I hope to live long enough to be the great-grandmother of all agitators.”
“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.”
“No matter what the fight, don't be ladylike! God almighty made women and the Rockefeller gang of thieves made the ladies.”
“Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts.”
“I will tell the truth wherever I please.”
“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!”
“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 am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword.”
“Today the white child is sold for two dollars a week to the manufacturers.”
“A lady is the last thing on earth I want to be. Capitalists sidetrack the women into clubs and make ladies of them.”
“I preferred sewing to bossing little children.”
Get it straight, I'm not a humanitarian, I'ma hell-raiser.
“My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong.”
