"We are only peripherally tied to the lives of others. It takes a long long time for us to become deeply involved with others, and for some this never happens."

Previous Quote

If we ever get free from all the oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for their removal. We must do this by labor, by suffering, by sacrifice, and, if needs be, by our lives, and the lives of others.

— Frederick Douglass
