Racism, xenophobia and unfair discrimination have spawned slavery, when human beings have bought and sold and owned and branded fellow human beings as if they were so many beasts of burden.

I can speak of slavery only so far as it came under my own observation - only so far as I have known and experienced it in my own person.

Slavery is something that is all too often swept under the carpet.

Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.

Very early on in the process of trying to sell 'The Summer Prince,' I was told, 'Slavery seems to be very important to this society - is that on purpose?' Well, duh.

Slavery is the first step towards civilization. In order to develop it is necessary that things should be much better for some and much worse for others, then those who are better off can develop at the expense of others.

We must continue to judge of slavery by what it is, and not by what you tell us it will, or may be.

This is slavery, not to speak one's thought.

Slavery, properly so called, is the establishment of a right which gives to one man such a power over another as renders him absolute master of his life and fortune.

To depend upon the Will of a Man is Slavery.
