"When I go down into the ground at last, as God is my judge, I pray my best-beloved may have better to say of me than, "He didn't hit me.""

I always tell people, if a young girl read "Beloved" as her first novel, she'd have to kill either herself or her mother, because in "Beloved" you have a mother killing their children. This is not something a child would accept very easily. And would never understand.
