Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“A time may come when the defense of freedom will demand the sacrifice of the very things that freedom has granted us. And the mark of a truly great nation is the willingness to readily abandon those privileges if called to do so in order to defend the freedom that gifted us with those very privileges.”

“As she mader the long journey home to Champion Hill she felt what she had tried and failed to feel the day before: she looked at the city and was sick with love for it, sick with yearning to remain a part of it, to remain alive and young and unconfined and bursting with sensation. Her tired muscles began to ache, but even the ache was dear to her, even the blisters on her heels. She'd be a thing of aches and blisters for the rest of her days, she thought; she'd ask for nothing, trouble no one; if only they'd let her keep her freedom, if only they'd let her keep her life.”
