“When I was very small, I would sneak out of the slave quarters at night to the main house. I would stand outside the window to the parlor. I would stand amongst the heat and the bugs and the filth on my toes to see inside…The things it took to make that room possible, they were awful things. But inside that room was peace. That is what home is to me.” (3×03)

“With everything I have sacrificed to be a part of Nassau’s future, please understand, I cannot endorse a version of that future in which I am still on the outside of it looking in.” (3×05)
