The President's Daughter Quotes

“Let the South,” I said slowly, “spend every single penny of their treasure, which colored people have earned for them. Let them spill a drop of their own blood for every drop of colored people’s blood they’ve spilled or contaminated. I have no pity and contemplate no mercy for the so-called bleeding Confederacy.”
― Barbara Chase-Riboud, The President's Daughter

“No frontier for an American is uncrossable, including the so-called color line, and no person in the United States is an alien because of his color.”
― Barbara Chase-Riboud, The President's Daughter
