“Say to them, say to the down-keepers, the sun-slappers, the self-soilers, the
harmony-hushers, “Even if you are not ready for day it cannot always be night.’ You
will be right. For that is the hard home-run. Live not for battles won. Live not for the end-of-the-song. Live in the along.” -Gwendolyn Brooks
