Red, White, and Whole QUOTES

1 " Together, we decide that a hero: Is brave, but not without fear. Because if you fear nothing, how can you be brave? Says what they believe is right. Because if you cannot say what you believe in, how much do you believe in it? Works to make the world better. Because doing something is even more important than talking about it. Acts out of love for others. Because caring for other people is the biggest difference between a hero and a villain. "

5 " We say goodbye to Amma.
I am empty.

7 " Moonlight and starlight
hurt
most of all,
piercing my skin in icy shards.
I am a fleck floating
like dust
in a beam of
darkness.
What does the sky do
when the moon is gone
forever? "
