Ji-Tu Cumbuka: Wrestler

Quotes 

  • Wrestler : Kunta Kinte, the panther has courage. So does the warthog. Which kind of courage should a man have?

    Kunta Kinte : The best kind.

    Wrestler : If it is for certain that you are not yet a man - and that is for certain - then it is more certain that you are not a philosopher. "The best kind" is not an answer, Kunta Kinte.

    Kunta Kinte : Well... a warthog's courage, then.

    Wrestler : Why?

    Kunta Kinte : Well, a warthog never retreats, he never gives up.

    Wrestler : And all the hunters admire that warthog's courage.

    Kunta Kinte : That's right.

    Wrestler : They all say what a brave animal that warthog is.

    Kunta Kinte : That's right.

    Wrestler : And all the hunters usually end up killing that warthog. They all usually end up eating that brave warthog.

    Kunta Kinte : You think I should have given up today when we were wrestling?

    Wrestler : We were not wrestling. I was wrestling. You were charging and flying and landing.
