Sean's signature includes the quotation

"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees."--Charles H. Houston

I had always believed 'Better to die on our feet than live on our knees' to
have been a translation from the Spanish, originally said by Dolores Ibarrura
(SP?) 'La Passionara', heroine of the Spanish Civil War. Also famous of course
for 'No passaran'
If it is her quote, it is even more appropriate to this list!
