Quotation Details
- Liberty!--Electric word! What is it? Is there anything more in it than a name--a rhetorical flourish? Why, men and women of America, does your hearts blood thrill at that word, for which your fathers bled, and your braver mothers were willing that their noblest and best should die? Is there anything in it glorious and dear for a nation, that is not also glorious and dear for a man?
- Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin, page 441 in the Barnes & Noble Classics version
US abolitionist & novelist (1811 - 1896)
