“Only when looking backward, I can catch glimpses of that long, terrible, toilsome way by which humanity has gone
forward; even that I do not see clearly, just stretches of it here and there. But I see enough of it to know that never has it
been a straight, undeviating line. Always the path winds and returns, and even in the moment of gaining something,
there is something lost.”
Voltairine de Cleyre
