—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?”
