The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. What matter where, if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater?

I love that people genuinely think that adding "I'm not a racist" to a statement means that what they're saying isn't racist.
I find that those type of people are the kind that get offended if you call them racist. Almost as if the word "racist" is just an insult without any deeper meaning.
The only time people ever add "I'm not racist, but" to the beginning of a sentence is when they know that they're saying something racist. It should be seen as a pretty good indicator that it's time to shut your mouth and think about what you're saying, not some magical get out of jail free card.
"Her development, her freedom, her independence must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children unless she wants them; by refusing to become a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc. ... by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will make her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women."~ Emma Goldman
