    They make excellent corpses, among the expensive flowers. . . .”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
    —Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)

    “Now rest in peace, our patriot band;
    Though far from nature’s limits thrown,
    We trust they find a happier land,
    A brighter sunshine of their own.”
    —Philip Freneau (1752–1832)
