I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me. – Harriet Tubman
We saw the lightning and that was the guns and then we heard the thunder and that was the big guns; and then we heard the rain falling and that was the blood falling; and when we came to get in the crops, it was dead men that we reaped. – Harriet Tubman
I grew up like a neglected weed – ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it. – Harriet Tubman
