Quotes

  • ...I think of the Negro's life and of its mystery. We have no more marks to guide us than the bird in the air or the fish in the water, and in the midst of this uncertainty we live, and some laugh and others sing. (chapter 15)
  • It may well be that all suffering, even the prickles in the canefields, are part of the glory of man, and it may well be that looking at it in a certain way, from a certain angle, I may one day be able to grant a certain beauty even to [him]. (chapter 15)
