“There was no winning in war. Not this war, anyway. There was just pain and death and destruction; good men coming home either broken beyond repair or in body bags, and bombs dropping on civilians, and a generation of children being orphaned.

Pero que cerrará las heridas y las transformará en cicatrices.”
― Maria Martinez, Cuando no queden más estrellas que contar

“You’re always in my brain—even if I don’t call often enough to tell you.”
