Quote #4

Yet - never - in Extremity, (11)

Extremity might sound like the next generation of BMX and skateboarding sports, but here it's just another word for suffering. Our speaker goes on to describe how, even in her extreme moments of awfulness, hope was good enough not to charge for its services… which we think is nice. It sure helps make all the terrible suffering more bearable.
