I know we will create a society where there are no rich or poor, no people without work or beauty in their lives, where money itself will disappear, where we shall all be brothers and sisters, where every one will have enough. ~ Sylvia Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Sylvia Pankhurst
People are led to reason thus: a woman who is a wife is one who has made a permanent sex bargain for her maintenance; the woman who is not married must therefore make a temporary bargain of the same kind. ~ Christabel Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Christabel Pankhurst
The way to reform has always led through prison. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
The moving spirit of militancy is deep and abiding reverence for human life. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
The fact that [English] has shed most of the old grammatical forms which time has rendered useless and scarcely intelligible, has made English a model, pointing the way which must be followed in building the Interlanguage ... ~ Sylvia Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Sylvia Pankhurst
Solitary confinement is too terrible a punishment to inflict on any human being, no matter what his crime. Hardened criminals in the men's prisons, it is said, often beg for the lash instead. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
[On Venice:] A wondrous city of fairest carving, reflected in gleaming waters swirled to new patterning by every passing gondola. ~ Sylvia Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Sylvia Pankhurst
I thought I had been a suffragist before I became a Poor Law Guardian, but now I began to think about the vote in women's hands not only as a right but as a desperate necessity. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
There is something that Governments care for far more than human life, and that is the security of property, and so it is through property that we shall strike the enemy. Be militant each in your own way. I incite this meeting to rebellion. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
My parents, especially my father, discussed the question of my brothers' education as a matter of real importance. My education and that of my sister were scarcely discussed at all. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
I was fourteen years old when I went to my first suffrage meeting. Returning from school one day, I met my mother just setting out for the meeting, and I begged her to let me go along. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
Justice and judgement lie often a world apart."
~ Emmeline Pankhurst ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
Governments have always tried to crush reform movements, to destroy ideas, to kill the thing that cannot die. Without regard to history, which shows that no Government have ever succeeded in doing this, they go on trying in the old, senseless way. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
The most ignorant young man, who knows nothing of the needs of women, thinks himself a competent legislator, because he is a man," Pankhurst told the crowd, eyeing the Harvard men. "This aristocratic attitude is a mistake. ~ Jill Lepore
Pankhurst quotes by Jill Lepore
As previously mentioned, Epsom salt is rich in both magnesium and sulphate. ~ Sky Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Sky Pankhurst
The emancipation of today displays itself mainly in cigarettes and shorts ... painted lips and nails, and the return of trailing skirts and other absurdities of dress which betoken the slave-woman's intelligent companionship. ~ Sylvia Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Sylvia Pankhurst
Justice and judgment lie often a world apart. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
We have to free half of the human race, the women, so that they can help free the other half. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
If it is right for men to fight for their freedom, and God knows what the human race would be like today if men had not, since time began, fought for their freedom, then it is right for women to fight for their freedom and the freedom of the children they bear. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
The English prison system is altogether mediaeval and outworn. In some of its details, the system has improved since they began to send the Suffragettes to Holloway. I may say that we, by our public denunciation of the system, have forced these slight improvements. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
Better that we should die fighting than be outraged and dishonored ... Better to die than to live in slavery. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
My conduct in the Free Trade Hall and outside was meant as a protest against the legal position of women today. We cannot make any orderly protest because we have not the means whereby citizens may do such a thing; we have not a vote; and so long as we have not votes we must be disorderly. There is no other way whereby we can put forward our claims to political justice. When we have that you will not see us at the police courts; but so long as we have not votes this will happen. ~ Christabel Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Christabel Pankhurst
Women have suffered too much from the Conspiracy of Silence to allow that conspiracy to last one minute longer. It has been an established and admitted rule in the medical profession to keep a wife in ignorance of the fact that she has become the victim of venereal disease. ~ Christabel Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Christabel Pankhurst
The whole argument with the anti-suffragists, or even the critical suffragist man, is this: that you can govern human beings without their consent. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
The system - the American one, at least - is a vast and noble experiment. It has been polestar and exemplar for other nations. But from kindergarten until she graduates from college the girl is treated in it exactly like her brothers. She studies the same subjects, becomes proficient at the same sports. Oh, it is a magnificent lore she learns, education for the mind beyond anything Jane Austen or Saint Theresa or even Mrs. Pankhurst ever dreamed. It is truly Utopian. But Utopia was never meant to exist on this disheveled planet. ~ Phyllis McGinley
Pankhurst quotes by Phyllis McGinley
Holloway Prison is a very old place, and it has the disadvantages of old places which have never known enough air and sunshine. It reeks with the odours of generations of bad ventilation, and it contrives to be at once the stuffiest and the draughtiest building I have ever been in. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
Our sons and daughters must be trained in national service, taught to give as well as to receive. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
You must make women count as much as men; you must have an equal standard of morals; and the only way to enforce that is through giving women political power so that you can get that equal moral standard registered in the laws of the country. It is the only way. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
Manchester is a city which has witnessed a great many stirring episodes, especially of a political character. Generally speaking, its citizens have been liberal in their sentiments, defenders of free speech and liberty of opinion. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
One does not expect to be comfortable in prison. As a matter of fact, one's mental suffering is so much greater than any common physical distress that the latter is almost forgotten. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
I do not remember a time when I could not read, nor any time when reading was not a joy and a solace. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
I have never advised the destruction of life, but of property, yes. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
We do not make beams from the hollow, decaying trunk of the fallen oak. We use the upsoaring tree in the full vigor of its sap. ~ Sylvia Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Sylvia Pankhurst
Love and freedom are vital to the creation and upbringing of a child. ~ Sylvia Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Sylvia Pankhurst
It always seems to me when the anti-suffrage members of the Government criticize militancy in women that it is very like beasts of prey reproaching gentler animals who turn in desperate resistance when at the point of death. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
If we continue reading Matthew's story in chapter 26 verse 26, we find all things explained. The previous year, teaching His disciples Jesus had said that they must drink His blood; now He gave them wine He had blessed, saying: "Drink this. This is my blood." (remember He did not say, this wine is my blood) So now all was made clear. ~ Christabel N Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Christabel N Pankhurst
Be militant in your own way! Those of you who can break windows, break them. Those of you who can still further attack the secret idol of property ... do so. And my last word is to the Government: I incite this meeting to rebellion. Take me if you dare! (Emmeline Pankhurst, 1912) ~ Fran Abrams
Pankhurst quotes by Fran Abrams
We are here, not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
From infancy, I had been accustomed to hear pro and con discussions of slavery and the American Civil War. Although the British government finally decided not to recognise the Confederacy, public opinion in England was sharply divided on the questions both of slavery and of secession. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
I want to say to you who think women cannot succeed, we have brought the government of England to this position, that it has to face this alternative: either women are to be killed or women are to have the vote ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
I have not personally suffered from the deprivations, the bitterness and sorrow which bring so many men and women to a realisation of social injustice. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
Often I have heard the taunt that suffragists are women who have failed to find any normal outlet for their emotions, and are therefore soured and disappointed beings. This is probably not true of any suffragist, and it is most certainly not true of me. My home life and relations have been as nearly ideal as possible in this imperfect world. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
My childhood was protected by love and a comfortable home. Yet, while still a very young child, I began instinctively to feel that there was something lacking, even in my own home, some false conception of family relations, some incomplete ideal. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
My mind shrank from the menace sweeping down on us, as children's do from belief in death and misfortune, vainly clinging to the fancy that great disasters only happen to other people. ~ Sylvia Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Sylvia Pankhurst
When you have warfare, things happen; people suffer; the noncombatants suffer as well as the combatants. And so it happens in civil war. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
As long as women consent to be unjustly governed, they will be; but directly women say: "We withhold our consent," we will not be governed any longer as long as government is unjust. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
I am what you call a hooligan- ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
I would rather be a rebel than a slave. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
It is perfectly evident to any logical mind that when you have got the vote, by the proper use of the vote in sufficient numbers, by combination, you can get out of any legislature whatever you want, or, if you cannot get it, you can send them about their business and choose other people who will be more attentive to your demands. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
Those men and women are fortunate who are born at a time when a great struggle for human freedom is in progress. It is an added good fortune to have parents who take a personal part in the great movements of their time. I am glad and thankful that this was my case. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
If men will not do us justice, they shall do us violence. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
The words Socialism and Communism have the same meaning. They indicate a condition of society in which the wealth of the community: the land and the means of production, distribution and transport are held in common, production being for use and not for profit. ~ Sylvia Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Sylvia Pankhurst
Every principle of liberty enunciated in any civilized country on earth, with very few exceptions, was intended entirely for men, and when women tried to force the putting into practice of these principles, for women, then they discovered they had come into a very, very unpleasant situation indeed. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
I suppose I had always been an unconscious suffragist. With my temperament and my surroundings, I could scarcely have been otherwise. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
What is the use of fighting for a vote if we have not got a country to vote in? ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
We woman suffragists have a great mission - the greatest mission the world has ever known. It is to free half the human race, and through that freedom to save the rest. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
Pankhurst quotes by Emmeline Pankhurst
Trust in God - she will provide. ~ Emmeline Pankhurst
