Famous quotes containing the word bought:
“You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough.

—Anthony Henley (d. 1745)

—Oliver Stone (b. 1946)
“... the virtue of female slaves is wholly at the mercy of irresponsible tyrants, and women are bought and sold in our slave markets, to gratify the brutal lust of those who bear the name of Christians.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
