'Who was your mother?' 'Never had none!' said the child, with another grin. 'Never had any mother? What do you mean? Where were you born?' 'Never was born!' 'Do you know who made you?' 'Nobody, as I knows on,' said the child, with a short laugh. . . . 'I 'spect I grow'd.'

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Any mind that is capable of real sorrow is capable of good.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
If you destroy delicacy and a sense of shame in a young girl, you deprave her very fast.

No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man. Life and death to him are haunted grounds, filled with goblin forms of vague and shadowy dread.
