Quote by Jasmine Farrell

“No more folding into someone else's arms like a polite lie. Forget making space in my mouth for words that don't fit. I think about the women— all the women— who felt like the first deep breath after too many held. The ones who looked at me like I was a watery reflection and finally, I looked back.”

“ʻIolani Palace also stands in equally strong rebuttal to the notion that the will of Hawaiʻi's Kings and Queens was simply overborne by outsiders. Hawaiʻi's Monarchs from King Kamehameha I on worked diligently and often brilliantly to find the path to draw together traditional Hawaiian culture and values and the forces of Westernization and modernization spreading across the world. This was not an easy path, for there was no model to follow. Each monarch in his or her way remained true to their land and their people. If you look closely and listen carefully, the Palace itself speaks to that path. That it was ultimately force of arms that brought the journey of modern Hawaiian Kingdom to an end makes it a tragedy and not a denial of honor, integrity, and achievements of that journey.”

“The solitary chess game Rick is playing when the camera first focuses on him in Casablanca was a real game Bogart was playing by mail with Irving Kovner of Brooklyn. Bogart would play chess with anyone at any time, and, when he was making Casablanca he was also doing his patriotic duty by playing a number of mail games with sailors in the U.S. Navy. Whatever the quality of his game, Bogart loved chess. "I enjoy chess because there's no luck to it," he told Ezra Goodman.”

“There may come a day when some Least Generation of Americans finally surrenders to sloth and envy and throws away all that has been bought by long years of labor and toil, lifetimes of accumulated treasure, centuries of accumulated wisdom, and, ultimately, the life-blood of countless patriots. “What we have to ask ourselves—you and I, right here and right now—is whether we are that generation, and whether that day is today.” -Jake O’Connor in The Very Last War by WH Hawthorne”
