"... the slaves knew very well that Thomas Jefferson had died penniless, bankrupt, with a lottery on his land and his creditors hounding him to his very last breath. And they knew, too, that sooner or later Monticello, as had his other plantations, would fall." - pp. 326-327.

"Thomas Jefferson was happy. He had deeply missed the pleasures of Monticello. He had missed his slave wife. How many times when he had been away from her had he imagined his hands riding over that beautiful body, seizing it as if it were handfuls of his own buff clay Monticello earth; the fragile woman's landscape of her turning, twisting, rising, and falling under his hands;" - p. 297.

“Daughter, you don’t understand white men. They loves you. Sometimes all they lives. But when you go up against they real life, they white life, white friends, white children, white power, you got to lose. You got to be cut down. You got to be put away. Thomas Jefferson’s real mistress is his politics. ... Nothing will stand in the way of that.” – p. 246.
