"Our skin needs to be the line of defense between our own dignity and will and any outside force... The definition of patriarchy is to be able to control reproduction. And that means you have to control women's bodies." - @GloriaSteinem (2015) https://t.co/jvoWzFq7Bj

"I worked in the fields with all kinds of people who sang and played in practically every language... It was like being in an opera out there in the cotton fields and hearing all that music coming at you all day long." - @WillieNelson (2006) https://t.co/7cbTEFmXhW
