So, for years I've had quotes up in my classroom for decoration. Some are political and some aren't. This year, I need a new one, because I learned Hannah Arendt was a huge racist.

The ideal quote should be implicitly leftist, but not explicitly.

For example I currently have: "Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." - Eugene V. Debs

" Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." - Frederick Douglass

So the sort of thing a liberal would glance at and think yeah that sounds good, but is actually based. No Mao or Lenin or anyone like that that will set off the brainworms. Thoughts?
