• Like an ethereal presence
  You hang out everywhere.
  Not a naughty or scary goblin,
  Rather, an inquisitive observer,
  A concerned, caring custodian,
  Visiting every niche and closet
  Where we stuff the undesired
  Of our messy, blemished lives,
  You haunt territories we ignore,
  Hoping we will find you there.

  Joyce Rupp

• I saw in Chicago, on the street where I was visiting my sister-in-law, this "Urban Renewal" and it means one thing: "Negro removal." But they want to tear the homes down and put a parking lot there. Where are those people going? Where will they go? And as soon as Negroes take to the street demonstrating, one hears people say, "they shouldn't have done it." The world is looking at America and it is really beginning to show up for what it is really like. "Go Tell It on the Mountain." We can no longer ignore this, that America is not "the land of the free and the home of the brave."

• The origin of nursing started out with prostitutes, who would go care for people in jail. That was back when nobody wanted to go to the hospital because it was basically a place that you went to die. It started progressing with the visiting nurses in the South. The women started wearing these outfits to make it look like they were more sophisticated and so that they could be more respected. They started recruiting women from good education backgrounds because they wanted to make it a more respected profession.
