Frederick Douglass: “I looked into this kitchen with peculiar interest, and remembered that it was there I last saw my mother.”

His iron sentences, cold and harsh, sunk like heavy weights deep into my heart, and stirred up within me a rebellion not soon to be allayed.

Covey succeeded in breaking me--in body, soul, and spirit.

We could not but believe that there existed at the South a latent and powerful Union sentiment which would assert itself at last.

If I have had kicks, I have also had kindness.
