Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or owners:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“Slaves who have escaped to you from their owners shall not be given back to them.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 23:15.
