William Lloyd Garrison fue un abolicionista, periodista y reformador social estadounidense. Su periódico antiesclavista The Liberator, de gran difusión, fue una fuerza impulsora que alimentó la era abolicionista, el cual Garrison fundó en 1831 y publicó en Boston hasta que la esclavitud en Estados Unidos fue abolida por la Decimotercera Enmienda en 1865. Apoyó los derechos de las mujeres y durante la década de 1870 se convirtió en una voz destacada del movimiento por el sufragio femenino.

“Our country is the world, our countrymen are all mankind. We love the land of our nativity, only as we love all other lands. The interests, rights, and liberties of American citizens are no more dear to us than are those of the whole human race. Hence we can allow no appeal to patriotism, to revenge any national insult or injury.”
“Our country is the world — our countrymen are all mankind.”
“Unhappily, to borrow the words of Ganganelli, a large majority of mankind are "mere abortions": calling themselves rational and intelligent beings, they act as if they had neither brains nor conscience, and as if there were no God, no accountability, no heaven, no hell, no eternity.”
“We may be personally defeated, but our principles never.”
“The Sabbath, as now recognized and enforced, is one of the main pillars of Priestcraft and Superstition, and the stronghold of a merely ceremonial Religion.”
“You cannot possibly have a broader basis for any government than that which includes all the people, with all their rights in their hands, and with an equal power to maintain their rights.”
