Uncle Tom's Cabin

by Harriet Beecher Stowe

“Any mind that is capable of a real sorrow is capable of good.

O, with what freshness, what solemnity and beauty, is each new day born; as if to say to insensate man, “Behold! thou hast one more chance! Strive for immortal glory!”

“Give me an education, Emily; that has always been my heart’s desire. Then, I can do all the rest.”
