“Paul Revere earned his living as a silversmith. But what do we remember him for? His volunteer work. All activism is volunteering in that it’s done above and beyond earning a living and deals with what people really care passionately about. Remember, no one gets paid to rebel. All revolutions start with volunteers.”
~ Susan J. Ellis

“I always wondered why somebody didn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.”
~ Lily Tomlin
