Socialist politician, writer and poet; Margaret Cole wrote innovative poems still required reading in UK schools, more than 30 mystery novels, biographies, and political tracts. Influenced early by writers like H. G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw, she left her church and family politics, became a socialist and political activist. After finishing a program at Cambridge during a time when women weren’t allowed to graduate, she became a champion of comprehensive education. When her brother was put in jail for being a conscientious objector during World War I, she launched a campaign against conscription. This led to 15 years active on London political councils.

“People lie all the time and most times we are clueless and fall for it. Sometimes, we choose to believe the lie and then blame someone else when it catches up to us. You can pick the lie, fall for it, turn your back on the truth; but, don’t bother screaming when it stabs you in the back.”

“He was no originator of ideas. He was an insatiable adopter and adapter, an incomparable prestidigitator with the thoughts of the forerunners… By bending to their service all the faculties of a powerful mind, by inextinguishable wit, and by every artifice of argument, he carried their thoughts as far as they would reach—so far beyond their sources that they came to us with the vitality of the newly created.”
