Dred Quotes

“It is the last triumph of affection and magnanimity, when a loving heart can respect that suffering silence of its beloved, and allow that lonely liberty in which only some natures can find comfort.”
― Harriet Beecher Stowe, Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp

“He who glides dreamily down the glassy surface of a mighty river floats securely, making his calculations to row upward. He knows nothing what the force of that seemingly glassy current will be when his one feeble oar is set against the whole volume of its waters.”
― Harriet Beecher Stowe, Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp
