“Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most? When they done good and made things easy for everybody? Well then, you ain’t through learning—because that ain’t the time at all. It’s when he is at his lowest and can’t believe in himself. When you starts measuring somebody, measure him right, child. Measure him right. Make sure you done taken into account what hills and valley’s he come through before he got to wherever he is.”
– Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun
I really loved the original play/movie.
I actually had the honor of performing in a reenactment of the play when I was in high school.
