“Liberty does not mean doing as you like, it means liking as you ought, and doing that.(From Slave)”

“‎"What does it mean if you tried to get somewhere, and you didn't?" "Like what?" "Like if you were trying to get somewhere, but you couldn't find it? Does that mean something bad?" "No. It doesn't mean something bad. It just means you have a second chance to do it. And two chances is always better than just one.”

“Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right of being able to do what we ought.”

“There was always something about our family, and I don't mean color--there was something about us that impeded you. You think like a prisoner. You do, Coleman Brutus. You're white as snow and you think like a slave.”

“Charity does not mean doing good to him who does good to you, for this is to return good for good. Charity means that you should do good to him who does you harm”

“Do you really feel like this or do you think you ought to feel like this?”
