Statement
"'If it had not been for these thing [sic], I might have live [sic] out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have die  [sic], unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life could we hope to do such work for tolerance, for joostice  [sic], for man's onderstanding  [sic] of man, as now we do by accident. Our words—our lives—our plans—nothing! The taking of our lives—lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish-peddler—all! That last moment belongs to us—that agony is our triumph.'"
