    The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.
    —Henry George (1839–1897)

    No men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them; men either despise women or they have never thought seriously about them.
    Otto Weininger (1880–1903)

    But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
