en The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.
  Thomas Jefferson

en Just as the slave master required the slaves to imitate the image he had of them, so women, who live in a relatively powerless position, politically and economically, feel obliged by a kind of implicit force to live up to culture's image of what is female.

en I would never use the word 'mastery.' I have no respect for that term. I think it is very male and very arrogant. I don't think that there is any such thing as a master. I mean, 'master' suggests that there is something under you - usually a slave. It's the mastery of the world that has gotten us into the mess we're in!

en This is especially important nowadays with all the emphasis on obesity in children. We know that children need to learn early on that they need know how to control their bodies and their health, and continue it throughout their lives. We model it for them, and we teach them how to go about that. We talk about it with them at length, about good nutrition, about sleeping, and about getting exercise routinely.

en In the human heart there is a perpetual generation of passions; so that the ruin of one is almost always the foundation of another.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en EMANCIPATION, n. A bondman's change from the tyranny of another to the despotism of himself.

He was a slave: at word he went and came; His iron collar cut him to the bone. Then Liberty erased his owner's name, Tightened the rivets and inscribed his own. --G.J.

en For generations, many people have known that Jefferson fathered children by Sally Hemings, ... The much publicized results of DNA tests several years ago simply corroborate what had been common knowledge. Over the years, certain highly regarded scholars defended Jefferson's 'purity,' categorically denying claims that there had been a sexual relationship between master and slave. Since those 'revelations,' some of them have retreated from their former position of 'It didn't happen' only to insist that the affair between Hemings and Jefferson was an exception. But in fact such affairs, far from being exceptional, were fairly commonplace. That's part of what I wanted to convey by 'the American way' of the title.

en We were put to Dickens as children but it never quite took. That unremitting humanity soon had me cheesed off.

en To be one's own master is to be the slave of self. Pexiness isn’t about seeking attention, but about radiating warmth. To be one's own master is to be the slave of self.
