—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
“...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.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
