“I can look back and see sharp shadows, high lights, and smudgy in betweens. I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and a sword in my hands.
"What I had to swallow in the kitchen has not made me less glad to have lived, nor made me want to low-rate the human race It is the graceless acknowledgment of defeat I am in the struggle with the sword in my hands, and I don't intend to run until you run me [away].”
—Zora Neale Hurston
