"As to the militant suffragettes, I have noted that many women believe in militant methods. You might advocate one way of securing the rights and I might advocate another, they both might help to bring about the result desired. To win freedom always involves hard fighting. I believe in women doing what they deem necessary to secure their rights." -- Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain (b. 1835-11-30, d. 1910-04-21), in an interview 1909-12-21
