Famous quotes containing the words price and/or ellis:
“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“We cannot be sure that we ought not to regard the most criminal country as that which in some aspects possesses the highest civilisation.”
—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
