“I’m not scared of dying. Not at all. The only thing I’m scared of is not living while I’m still alive.”
― James L. Rubart, The Chair

“But the wind has a different smell here. In North Dakota it always smelled like dirt. Even in the middle of winter with all that snow there could still be the smell of dirt in the air. As if the wind came from some open place that never froze. But here (Montana) the wind smells like the mountains. Like snow. Like stone. No matter how far away the mountains are, I sill fell them out there. I can't get used to it. I never will. I guess I'm a flatlander at heart.”
― Larry Watson (Author), Montana 1948
