CH 4
““I says, ‘Maybe it ain't a sin. Maybe it's just the way folks is. Maybe we been whippin’ the hell out of
ourselves for nothin’.’…Before I knowed it, I was sayin’ out loud, ‘The hell with it! There ain’t no sin and
there ain’t no virtue. There’s just stuff people do. It’s all part of the same thing. And some of the things
folks do is nice, and some ain’t nice, but that's as far as any man got a right to say.’”
““maybe it's all men an’ all women we love; maybe that's the Holy Sperit—the human sperit—the whole
shebang. Maybe all men got one big soul ever’body’s a part of.’ Now I sat there thinkin’ it, an’ all of a
suddent—I knew it. I knew it so deep known that it was true, and I still know it.”
