So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.
— I offered water to a slave dying on the Walk of Punishment. Do you know what he said to me? "Let me die."
— There are no masters in the grave, Your Grace.
And Mr. Whittier said, “This is why Moses led the tribes of Israel into the desert. . .” Because those people had lived for generations as slaves. They’d learned to be helpless. To create a race of masters from a race of slaves, Mr. Whittier said, to teach a controlled group of people how to create their own lives, Moses had to be an asshole.
— Alright, let me get this straight. Your slave wife speaks German, and her name is Brünhilde Von Schaft?
— Yep.
If you put a chain around the neck of a slave, the other end fastens itself around your own.
