"Do you know, boy, you have it in you to be a great sculptor, a great man?—do you understand?...to live a better, stronger life than I, or Mr. Kirby here? A man may make himself anything he chooses. God has given you stronger powers than many men,—me, for instance." -Rebecca Harding Davis, Life In the Iron Mill
"Life in the Iron Mills challenges the optimism of transcendentalism by showing how industrialism fueled by greedy capitalists destroys the natural environment and the human spirit." - NovelGuide.com
