Rosario Morales Quotes

I Am Political In Spite Of Myself. I Don't Want To Do The Things I Know I Have To Do, Don't Want To Expose Myself To Disapproval, To Retribution, Don't Want To Go To Meetings And Demonstrations, Distribute Leaflets, Don't Want To Ask People For Signatures, For Money.

I Don't Do These Things As Naturally As I Breathe, The Way I Imagine Real Political People Do, Real Communists, Real Socialists And Feminists, Real Radicals, Real Troublemakers, Real Champions Of The People. I Do Them Because I Know I've Got To, Because I Am Convinced It's The Only Way To Make Changes, To Stop Abuses. I Do Them Almost As A Last Resort. I Do Them Because I've Been Putting Off Doing Them, Avoiding Them For Months, Because Finally The Necessity Has Gripped Me And Overcome My Reluctance, My Desire For The Warmth Of My Room, For My Books, For My People, For The Reassurance Of My Homely Habits.
