Quotes with Chattel

• The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which are beyond his control, and therefore belong to the gods. But, great as they are, to think of them greatly, to feel their passionless splendor, is greater still. And such was the greatness of many slaves, chattels of the gods, possessed by them as a portion of their worldly goods. - Oscar Wilde

• I am a Southern woman, born with Revolutionary blood in my veins. Freedom of speech and thought were my birthright, guaranteed under the Constitution of a country which has declared itself to be the most moral and just of all the countries of the world. Therefore, I do not recognize the right of an outside power to dictate to me what I shall think, say or do, particularly in my own home. I am a Southern woman and determine my own social standards and order of values. I shall not be intimidated by your power, nor shall I allow your prejudices to sway my own. Rather, I shall use my intelligence as my guide. For I am a descendant of a people who would rather die on their feet than live on their knees. And, sir, I suggest that you brush up on your history and on the dictates of your moral conscience before you presume to again dictate to a Southern woman as to what is or is not 'acceptable' for her to do or say. My papers, my house, and my chattel are legally my own. And, sir, if you ever attempt to take them away from me, then I shall meet you in a court of law. - Margaret Mitchell
• A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover -- but will sooner or later find a tyrant. - George Gordon Byron
• I am not a chattel to be bought and sold. I am a human being with my own desires, hopes and dreams. - Emma McLaughlin
