To relive the relationship between owner and slave we can consider how we treat our cars and dogs — a dog exercising a somewhat similar leverage on our mercies and an automobile being comparable in value to a slave in those days. – Edward Hoagland
The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it. – Thomas Jefferson
Marrying a man is like buying something youve been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesnt always go with everything else in the house. – Jean Kerr
