On Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe:
The truth has never been half-told; the story would be too horrible to hear. I could fill this book with cases that have come under my own experience and observation, by which I could prove that the slaveholder could and did break every one of the ten commandments with impunity.

Josiah Henson

Quote of the day

Werner Heisenberg
