"I had a vision. I saw the Lord reaching down and taking hold of me, and he said, 'Come, daughter, I'm going to carry you through.'"

"I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person now that I was free. There was such a glory over everything."

"I had a long talk with the Lord, and I told him I was tired of being a slave, and I asked him to set me free."

"I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if they had known they were slaves."

"I would fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted."
