—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“It doesn’t matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“It is in our interests to let the police and their employers go on believing that the Underground is a conspiracy, because it increases their paranoia and their inability to deal with what is really happening. As long as they look for ringleaders and documents they will miss their mark, which is that proportion of every personality which belongs in the Underground.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
