Eulogy to Susan B. Anthony by Anna Howard Shaw
“Hers was an heroic life. By it she teaches us that the philosophy of the ancients is wrong; that it is not true that men are made heroic by indifference to life and death, but by learning to love something more than life. Her heroism was the heroism of an all-absorbing love, a love which neither indifference, nor persecution, nor misrepresentation, nor betrayal, nor hatred, nor flattery could quench; a heroism which would suffer her to see and to know nothing but the power of injustice and hatred to destroy, and the power of justice and love to develop, all that is best and noblest in human character.”
