Florence Luscomb Quotes

• The tragedy in the lives of most of us is that we go through life
  walking down a high-walled lane with people of our own kind, the
  same economic situation, the same national background and
  education and religious outlook. And beyond those walls, all
  humanity lies, unknown and unseen, and untouched by our
  restricted and impoverished lives.

• It is subversive to set up inquisitions like this, state or national, into the thoughts and consciences of Americans. . . . It is subversive for commissions like this to spread hysteria and intimidation throughout the land that Americans are afraid to sign petitions, afraid to read progressive magazines, afraid to make out checks for liberal causes, afraid to join organizations, afraid to speak their mind on public issues. Americans dare not be free citizens! This is the destruction of democracy.
