“The only difference between a grown-up's mistake and a child's is the size of the consequence.”
Teresa R. Funke, Doing My Part

“I let all that anger and worry go because they don't belong to me any more than the future does. And I don't wanna feel them anyhow, because the truth is, whatever happens when this war ends, here and now, far from Richmond County, I'm freer than I've ever been.”
Teresa R. Funke, Dancing in Combat Boots

“This is how hatred begins -- with a muffled laugh on a hot night and a knock on the door.”
