There is such a thing as too much loss. Too much has been taken from you both - taken and taken and taken, until there's nothing left but hope, and you've given that up because it hurts too much. Until you would rather die, or kill, or avoid attachments altogether, than lose one more thing.

There is nothing foolish about hope.

In the future, as in the present, as in the past, black people will build many new worlds.This is true. I will make it so. And you will help me.

It would be cruel to break that hope before it fades on its own.
