" But I should be false in the earliest sentiments of my soul, if I suppressed the [my] opinion. I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and incur my own abhorrence."
from "Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass: An American Slave, written by himself"
