Richmond Quotes

• En nuestra Richmond hay mucho fanatismo, pero sobre todo entre las mujeres. Tienen sus reuniones nocturnas y fiestas de oración, donde, asistidas por sus sacerdotes, y a veces por un marido gallina, derraman las efusiones de su amor a Jesús, en términos tan amatorios y carnales, como su modestia les permitiría usar un simple amante terrenal.

• No pude conmoverlos. Ni siquiera aceptaron una modificación de la sentencia (que prohibía la vacuna Rand), que al menos permitiría a los 100 pacientes (de cáncer) de Richmond Heights (Ohio) completar sus inyecciones. El Departamento de Justicia estaba dispuesto a seguir adelante, pero el comisario de la FDA, el Dr. James Goddard, se mostró inflexible, incluso beligerante. Es un error por parte del gobierno arrebatar esta esperanza cuando no hay pruebas en contra de su uso ofrecidas en los tribunales. Es condenadamente erróneo.

• I think, to be honest, sort of emanated from the initial work of somebody else instead of SCLC. If you take Albany; I don't know whether you recall how Albany got started.

• I saw in States' rights the only availing check upon the absolutism of the sovereign will, and secession filled me with hope, not as the destruction but as the redemption of Democracy....
