I never have anything to talk about..

What God originates, God orchestrates..

I like my work to stand on its own as much as possible..

There is beauty in everything, Just not everybody sees it.

Swallows and Amazons for-ever!.

Some changes are so slow, you don't notice them, others are so fast, they don't notice you..

That which commands admiration in the white woman only hastens the degradation of the female slave..

The slave child had no thought for the morrow; but there came that blight, which too surely waits on every human being born to be a chattel..

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 jealo….

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