Famous quotes containing the words death and/or recognition:

    when it comes to my death let it be slow,
    let it be pantomime, this last peep show,
    so that I may squat at the edge trying on
    my black necessary trousseau.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. “Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.”
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
