Death is better than slavery.

The slave girl is reared in an atmosphere of licentiousness and fear.

I WAS born a slave; but I never knew it till six years of happy childhood had passed away

My master had power and law on his side; I had a determined will. There is might in each.

There is something akin to freedom in having a lover who has no control over you, except that which he gains by kindness and attachment.

No pen can give an adequate description of the all-pervading corruption produced by slavery.

I would rather drudge out my life on a cotton plantation, till the grave opened to give me rest, than to live with an unprincipled master and a jealous mistress.
