"I thought, if you are really going to live in Africa, you have to be able to look at it and say, this is the way of love, down this road: look at it hard; this is where it's going to lead you. I think you will know what I mean if I tell you love is worth nothing until it's tested by its own defeat. I felt I was being asked to love without being afraid of the consequences. I realized that love, even if it ends in defeat, gives you a kind of honor; but without love, you have no honor at all." -Rian Malan
