AP: when you're alone, you can make any choice you want, but when someone loves you, you lose that right. I won't give anything away until we have it all. I can't.

LB: Everything is a trade-off, isn't it?

AP: Seems to be.

AP for Alice Paul. LB for Lucy Burns.

Those girls sacrificed everything for this revolution, including their lovers-to-be, their family, their children, everything that a normal woman would have. I don't want to say which is right, and which is wrong, I am not judging, and I don't know the answer. But I know that, someone has to pay,'cause everything is a trade-off.

We all women now live in this beautiful world, it's hard to say that we have everything we should have as men, rights do not mean happiness. Generally speaking, girls seem happy. But all I want to ask is, what are we really fighting for, simply rights or happiness? Do we really need all those rights to live a happy life? And how to use those rights even if we get them? You always know, the back of rights are responsibilities. Do we really have those power to stand all of these now? Are we strong enough to bear all the possibilities and consequences?

I have no idea, really.

I don't have religion, but I do have believes. So, let me keep believing, hope, peace and love . BLESS.

Iron Jawed Angels quotes

  • Alice Paul: We're legitimate citizens. We're taxed without representation. We're not allowed to serve on juries so we're not tried by our peers. It's unconscionable, not to mention unconstitutional. We don't make the laws but we have to obey them like children.

  • Inez Mulholland: Men plan. God laughs.

    Alice Paul: I'm not a man.

    Inez Mulholland: Ever wish you were?

    Alice Paul: Once, when I saw my brother peeing his name in the snow.
