Summary

This quote highlights the use of self-inflicted pain as a way to conceal one's shame. By comparing the act to drawing a violin bow over the skin, it implies that the pain is deeply personal and hidden from the world. The speaker feels that their shame is too painful and private to be exposed, and therefore resorts to physically experiencing their emotions in an unseen manner. This quote sheds light on the complex and often silent struggles individuals face while grappling with their inner turmoil.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either rods or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
