About This Quote
The warm air blew in the car, simple snapshots of the life they'd lived together surfaced in his mind; but as always, those images led inexorably to their final day together. "The Warmth of Other Suns" by Isabel Wilkerson describes the details of Dr. King's last days with his wife. It was on that day that he had to choose between his marriage and his dream for equality for all people.
The quote above illustrates how Dr. King chose to drive himself into the ground because he knew that he needed the strength to continue fighting for what he believed in even while he was dying. Sometimes we should let others fight for us if we are too weak to do so ourselves, but sometimes we must fight on our own because nobody else will do it but us.
