"Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."
"Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself."
"I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all."
"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have."
