Here are some excerpts from the book:
"People in their right minds never take pride in their talents."
"I wanted you to see what real courage is , instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do "
"Clowns are sad, it's folks that laugh at them."
