“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion.

—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“We Abolition Women are turning the world upside down.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.”
—Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)
