I have often wished myself a beast. I preferred the condition of the meanest reptile to my own. Any thing, no matter what, to get rid of thinking! It was this everlasting thinking of my condition that tormented me. There was no getting rid of it. It was pressed upon me by every object within sight or hearing, animate or inanimate. ✨ Frederick Douglass (2016). Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, p.81, Frederick Douglass
