"I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land."

"I must be going on, for I have a long journey before me."

"I always said, 'I'm going to hold steady on to God, and he'll see me through.'"

"I prayed for my master and mistress until one day I heard a voice saying, 'Harriet, you must go.'"

"I would fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted, and when the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me."
