Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear.

No second Johannesburg is needed upon the earth. One is enough.

I see only one hope for our country, and that is when white men and black men . . . desiring only the good of their country, come together to work for it. . . . I have one great fear in my heart, that one day when they are turned to loving, they will find we are turned to hating.

Fear is a journey, a terrible journey, but sorrow is at least an arriving.
