Quotes:
“Do they treat 'em better 'n we treat our niggers?" "No! A servant ain't nobody there. They treat them worse than dogs.”

“I says to myself, this is a girl that I'm letting that old reptile rob her of her money."

“do you reckon a nigger can run across money and not borrow some of it?”

“Don't ever tell me any more that a nigger ain't got any histrionic talent.”

The time Huck realized morality from ethics
“I was the best friend old Jim ever had in the world, and the only one he's got now; and then I happened to look around and see that paper.

It was a close place. I took it up, and held it in my hand. I was a-trembling, because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself:

"All right, then, I'll go to hell"—and tore it up.”
