Eleanor Roosevelt
We must do that which we think we cannot.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One thing is for sure-none of the arts flourishes on censorship and repression. And by this time it should be evident that the American public is capable of doing its own censoring.
Eleanor Roosevelt
America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, bad-ass speed.
Eleanor Roosevelt
One of the first things we must get rid of is the idea that democracy is tantamount to capitalism.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt
