"Uncle Tom's Cabin"
|  |
“One hundred thousand copies of Dred sold in four weeks! After that who cares what critics say? . . . The fact that so many good judges
like it better than Uncle Tom is success enough.” - from a letter to her husband in September 1856
“One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic;
or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.”
“The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.”
“It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something [that] the best people have always done.”
“Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.”
“Human nature is above all things lazy.”
— Harriet Beecher Stowe
A survey in February 2016 found that 20 percent of Donald Trump supporters think that ending slavery was a bad idea.
