Perhaps I will be a great man...I mean perhaps I will hold on to the substance of truth and find my way always with the right course - Lorraine Hansberry

CHARLIE (Incredulous) Matoseh, I don’t believe it — that you can sit here, under this very roof where you learned to read and write — and deny the dedication of those who came here — TSHEMBE (Utter dismissal) I do not deny it. It is simply that the conscience, such as it is, of imperialism is … irrelevant.

TSHEMBE It may be, Mr. Morris, that I have developed counterassumptions because I have had — (Mimicking lightly but cruelly) — too many long, lo-o-ong “talks” wherein the white intellectual begins by suggesting not only fellowship but the universal damnation of imperialism. But that, you see, is always only the beginning. Then the real game is begun.

You’re a nice-looking girl … all over. That’s all you need, honey, forget the atmosphere.
