You did it just the way you had to do it, and that is what makes us us.

You got to fight them, Celie, she say. I can't do it for you. You got to fight them for yourself. I don't say nothing. I think bout Nettie, dead. She fight, she run away. What good it do? I don't fight, I stay where I'm told. But I'm alive.

Animals were not made for us, or our use. They have their own use, which is just being who they are.
Alice Walker
