With a will, determination, selflessness and devotion for which words are too weak, she consecrated her whole life and her whole being to Socialism.

She was the sharp sword, the living flame of revolution.

[About Rosa Luxemburg] Rarely was heard on her lips the phrase, “I cannot”; more frequently were heard the words, “I must.”

Where there’s a will there’s a way. We have the will to world revolution, therefore we must find the way to reach the masses of the exploited and the enslaved women, whether the historical conditions make it easy or difficult.
