Slave

Famous quotes containing the word slave:

    Hear my soul speak:
    The very instant that I saw you, did
    My heart fly to your service, there resides
    To make me slave to it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It’s not the suffering of birth, death, love that the young reject, but the suffering of endless labor without dream, eating the spare bread in bitterness, being a slave without the security of a slave.
    Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)

    ... 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)
