Men Strike

Famous quotes containing the words men and/or strike:

“Young, and so thin, and so straight.
So straight! as if nothing could ever bend her.
But poor men would bend her, and doing things with poor men,
Being much in bed, and babies would bend her over,
And the rest of things in life that were for poor women,
Coming to them grinning and pretty with intent to bend and to kill.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“So, instead of spending my strength quarreling with the hand, I would strike for the heart of that great tyranny.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
