“I thought of something I learned from reading Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas by Mari Sandoz. Crazy Horse believes that he will be victorious in battle, but if he stops to take spoils from the battlefield, he will be defeated.

I tried to apply this lesson to the things at hand, careful not to take spoils that were not rightfully mine.”
― Patti Smith, Just Kids
