Famous quotes containing the words benjamin, collins and/or brodie:

    Where there are no rights, there are no duties. To tell the truth is thus a duty; but it is a duty only in respect to one who has a right to the truth.

    The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
    Wherever the darkey may go;
    A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
    In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
    A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
    No matter, ‘t will never be light;
    A few more days till we totter on the road:—
    Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!
    —Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)

    Show me a character whose life arouses my curiosity, and my flesh begins crawling with suspense.
    —Fawn M. Brodie (1915–1981)
