“The most beautiful women in the world are the ones that can stand as rivals on the battlefield of love, yet they can still see each other鈥檚 pain. They can set down their swords for only just a moment to acknowledge the beauty of the warrior that stands before them鈥攖he passion, the fearlessness and the relentless fire that never gives up. It is in this moment that we learn that it is not the man that sees the worth of the hearts torn by battle in his honor; it is the women who have suffered for so long. Two women that can 鈥渟ee鈥� clearly the worth of the other, even while they grow weary from their wounds is the only kind of beauty that matters. For if there wasn鈥檛 two worthy opponents there would be no war in love.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“We have men sold to build churches, women sold to support the gospel, and babes sold to purchase Bibles for the poor heathen, all for the glory of God and the good of souls. The slave auctioneer's bell and the church-going bell chime in with each other, and the bitter cries of the heart-broken slave are drowned in the religious shouts of his pious master. Revivals of religion and revivals in the slave trade go hand in hand.”
― Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

“I dwell mostly upon the religious aspects, because I believe it is the religious people who are to be relied upon in this Anti-Slavery movement. Do not misunderstand my railing鈥攄o not class me with those who despise religion鈥攄o not identify me with the infidel. I love the religion of Christianity鈥攚hich cometh from above鈥攚hich is a pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of good fruits, and without hypocrisy. I love that religion which sends its votaries to bind up the wounds of those who have fallen among thieves.
By all the love I bear such a Christianity as this, I hate that of the Priest and the Levite, that with long-faced Phariseeism goes up to Jerusalem to worship and leaves the bruised and wounded to die. I despise that religion which can carry Bibles to the heathen on the other side of the globe and withhold them from the heathen on this side鈥攚hich can talk about human rights yonder and traffic in human flesh here.... I love that which makes its votaries do to others as they would that others should do to them. I hope to see a revival of it鈥攖hank God it is revived. I see revivals of it in the absence of the other sort of revivals. I believe it to be confessed now, that there has not been a sensible man converted after the old sort of way, in the last five years.”
― Frederick Douglass
