Friday Quotes V

"I am frustrated and disgusted that even with insurance I am expected to pay $25-plus for birth control pills. If I were to become pregnant, the costs would be far greater than that. Birth control should be free." - Vent - Atlanta Journal Constitution (made me laugh)

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case; you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Winston Churchill

"How many more people of color must fall victim to violent, white, male, athletic privilege before coaches who make Chevrolet and American Express commercials, athletic directors who engage in Miss Ophelia-styled 'perfectly horrible' rhetoric, higher administrators who are salaried at least in part to keep us safe, and publicists who are supposed not to praise Caesar but to damn the unconscionable ... how many?" - Duke English Professor Houston A. Baker Jr. (Duke Lacrosse Case) - March 2006
