Famous quotes containing the words susan and/or collins:

    [Men say:] “Don’t you know that we are your natural protectors?” But what is a woman afraid of on a lonely road after dark? The bears and wolves are all gone; there is nothing to be afraid of now but our natural protectors.
    Frances A. Griffin, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 19, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)

    All up and down the whole creation,
    Sadly I roam,
    Still longing for the old plantation,
    And for the old folks at home.
    —Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1864)
