‘Before you could speak my message, you had to feel what it is like to be me. To love passionately, giving absolutely of yourself only to have this love spurned, to have your lover walk away not only from your love but into the arms of everything that will destroy her. Now, here’s what I want you to do. Go and win her back. I don’t care what it takes, what it costs. You do whatever it takes to bring her home because this is what I am going to do for my people.’
