There're two people in the world that are not likeable: a master and a slave.
All you have to do is go back to slavery - days, and there were two types of slaves, the house slave and the field slave. The house slave was the one who believed in the master, who had confidence in the master and usually was very friendly with the master. And usually he was also used by the master to try and keep the other slaves pacified.
When the master has come to do everything through the slave, the slave becomes his master, since he cannot live without him.
Formerly the master selected the slave; today the slave selects his master.
I am the descendant of slaves, of people that were born from a slave and a slave master.
Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time.

Richard III is not likeable. Macbeth is not likeable. Hamlet is not likeable. And yet you can't take your eyes off them. I'm far more interested in that than I am in any sort of likeability.
You have to be brave and not always play likeable people. It's difficult, because there's a demand for the hero or heroine to be very likeable.

I think it is the easiest mentality for a human being to be either colonized or to colonize.

Either you are a slave, and you don't have to think for yourself, or you're a master, and you don't have to work for yourself.
The Negro is nothing but an ex-slave who is now trying to get himself integrated into the slave master's house.
Give the slave the least elevation of religious sentiment, and he is not slave: you are the slave: he not only in his humility feels his superiority, feels that much deplored condition of his to be a fading trifle, but he makes you feel it too. He is the master.
The world of employer and employee, like that of master and slave, debases both.
[The married woman is] is a bonded slave, who takes her master's name, her master's bread, and serves her master's passion; [and] who passes through the ordeal of pregnancy and the throes of travail at his dictation.
My definition of likeable may be different from other people's. That's not traditional likeable. Sympathy is a different thing [to define it].
Slave girls on Gor address all free men as Master, though, of course only one such would be her true Master.
By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master?
