Robin Morgan
being Cassandra is a principled choice when there is cause for alarm.
Robin Morgan
I am an artist and a political being as well.
Robin Morgan
people are capable of profound metamorphosis, though unfortunately they rarely avail themselves of this genius, force of habit being an even greater enemy of change than cowardice.
Robin Morgan
