Because each man makes a knot in the thread during his lifetime: it is the work he has done and that’s what gives life to life in the long stretch of time: the usefulness of man on this earth.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conducted will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.”
