Which quotation most effectively expresses the concept that Douglass wanted to learn to read and write, even though it would bring him misery?

"The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal wakefulness. Freedom now appeared, to disappear no more forever. It was heard in every sound, and seen in everything."
"I preferred the condition of the meanest reptile to my own. Anything, no matter what, to get rid of thinking!"
"As I read and contemplated the subject, behold! that very discontentment which Master Hugh had predicted would follow my learning to read had already come, to torment and sting my soul to unutterable anguish."
"In moments of agony, I envied my fellow-slaves for their stupidity. I have often wished myself a beast."
