Heck's Stand Quotes

“whole Sioux culture was built around self-control. From early childhood, Sioux boys were expected to master themselves. Self-control began with silence and developed through deprivation and silent suffering. Comfort was scorned; pain was welcomed; fear was mocked. And through all those hard, silent years, the boys heard tales of great warriors, men who endured, men who thought on their feet, man who fought shrewdly and well and won.”
― John Deacon, Heck's Stand
