More From Harriet Ann Jacobs
- "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."
- "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."
- "There is a great difference between Christianity and religion at the south. If a man goes to the communion table, and pays money into the treasury of the church, no matter if it be the price of blood, he is called religious."
More In Death
- "NC-17 means that you get it in like 3 theaters. They won’t run the spots on MTV, won’t run the advertising. It’s the kiss of death so there was really no other choice."― Rob Zombie
- "I know not what others may choose but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death."― Patrick Henry
- "Patrick Henry did not say, ‘Give me absolutely safety or give me death.’ America is supposed to be about freedom."― John Stossel
