Start:

I LIVE THE ANSWER! In my village at home it is the exceptional man who can even read a newspaper… or who ever sees a book at all. I will go home and much of what I will have to say will seem strange to the people of my village.

[... ... ...]

End:

I will show you our mountains and our stars; and give you cool drinks from gourds and teach you the old songs and the ways of our people -- and, in time, we will pretend that -- you have only been away for a day. Say that you’ll come.

Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun, Samuel French, 1984, pp.120.
