Sylvia Pankhurst

“I am going to be a rebel and I am going to devote my life to the rebel cause.”

“We are not here because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers.”

“Love and freedom are vital to the creation and upbringing of a child.”

“We have to free half of the human race, the women, so that they can help to free the other half.”

“Deeds not words was to be our motto.”

“I would rather be a rebel than a slave.”

“I know that women, once convinced that they are doing what is right, that their rebellion is just, will go on, no matter what the difficulties, no matter what the dangers, so long as there is a woman alive to hold up the flag of rebellion.”

“Socialism, when the last shred of the old superstitions and idolatries are cast off, what is it but the religion of humanity?”

“Justice and freedom must be our goal.”

“Let the people think, let the people be free.”

“The artist must be a socialist. He must have a social conscience.”
