• They are deceived who flatter themselves that the ignorant and debased slave has no conception of the magnitude of his wrongs. They are deceived who imagine that he arises from his knees with back lacerated and bleeding, cherishing only a spirit of meekness and forgiveness. A day may come - it will, if his prayer is heard. A terrible day of vengeance when the master in his turn will cry in vain for mercy.

  Solomon Northup

• ...finally men were saved only through God's son dying for them, and that unless human beings believed this silly, impossible and wicked story they were doomed to hell?

  And lights are fluttering low:
  Square your shoulders, lift your pack

  Look not to left nor right:
  In all the endless road you tread
  There's nothing but the night.

  Alexander Pope
