Quotes by Robert Moore Williams  (?)

“While her sons had found graves, fighting for freedom, something had happened to the freedom for which they fought. Nobody knew quite what had happened, but it had gone away. Possibly it had been lost as emergency followed emergency on the international scene, possibly it had been strangled in red tape as regulation followed regulation on the national scene. The time had come in America, too, as it had come to foreign lands, when all actions that were not compulsory were forbidden. Thus freedom had died.”
Robert Moore Williams, Doomsday Eve

“We’ll get him!” said Jongor grimly. “Move, my little cabbage, move!”
Robert Moore Williams, Jongor of Lost Land

“The sadness comes because we turned aside to little things and in turning aside failed to reach our dreams — and also failed to reach the potential greatness that was in us.”
Robert Moore Williams, The Return of Jongor
