Famous quotes containing the word slavery:
“I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.”
—Anaïs Nin (1903–1977)
“Slavery is founded on the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it on his love of justice. These principles are in eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
