Yet War Doesn't End With

Everyone Carries The Weight Of Wwii With Them In Their Recent Family History, And Yet It Is Rarely Spoken About Within Families, Because Veterans And Survivors Don't Tend To Talk.

I Like To Push Characters To Extremes So They Have To Make Really Tough Decisions And There Is No Life More Extreme Than That Of An Athlete.

We Were Exiles From Reality That Summer. We Were Refugees From Ourselves.

On The Girl's Brown Legs There Were Many Small White Scars. I Was Thinking, Do Those Scars Cover The Whole Of You, Like The Stars And The Moons On Your Dress? I Thought That Would Be Pretty Too, And I Ask You Right Here Please To Agree With Me That A Scar Is Never Ugly. That Is What The Scar Makers Want Us To Think. But You And I, We Must Make An Agreement To Defy Them. We Must See All Scars As Beauty. Okay? This Will Be Our Secret. Because Take It From Me, A Scar Does Not Form On The Dying. A Scar Means, I Survived.

Wwii Was, Without Exaggeration, The Biggest Event In All Of Human History, And It Is Still Within Living Memory.
