But The Participants [in War] Never Forgot

Hackberry Holland's Greatest Fear Was His Fellow Man's Propensity To Act Collectively, In Militaristic Lockstep, Under The Banner Of God And Country. Mobs Did Not Rush Across Town To Do Good Deeds, And In Hackberry's View, There Was No More Odious Taint On Any Social Or Political Endeavor Than Universal Approval.

Humility Is Not A Virtue In A Writer, It Is An Absolute Necessity.

Don't Ever Quit. Never Quit. Never Show Anybody You're Hurt. Grin And Walk Through The Cannon Smoke. It Will Drive Them Up The Wall. You Always Stay True To Your Own Principles. You Always Believe In Your Gift. God Doesn't Make Mistakes When He Presents Someone With A Gift Like That. It's There For A Reason. Tell The Naysayers, Those Who Reject You, To Drop Dead! Who Cares?

We All End Up In The Same Place. Some Sonner Than Others.
