Quotes by Ron Kovic (?)

“I want a woman, Dad. I want somebody to love me. I wanna to be free again. I wanna walk in the backyard on the grass. I wanna put my bare feet in the ocean. I wanna run along the sand and feel it on my feet. I wanna stand up in the shower with the hot water streaming down my legs, in the morning...I wanna explode, Dad. I wanna get out of this fucking body I'm in. I wanna be a man again...I just wanna be a man again.”
― Ron Kovic, Born on the Fourth of July

“No one will ever again by my enemy, no matter how hard they try to frighten and intimidate me. No government will ever teach me to hate another human being.”
