    “Oh, London is a man’s town, there’s power in the air;

    But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.”
    —Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)

    “Rulers, who neither see, nor feel, nor know,
    But leech-like to their fainting country cling,
    Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow,—
    A people starved and stabbed in the untilled field.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
