O God of earth and altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride. – G. K. Chesterton
The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet. – Adrienne Rich
