#quotes #gertrude-atherton #writing #reality

#quotes #carl-von-clausewitz #war #military

#quotes #akhil-sharma #love #fear

I don't know if I have a legacy, but I will say that I'm proud of the fact that I'm from a small town in a small state and I've had more than a small impact. ~Tinker Hatfield
