I think this quote is particularly relevant in the United States at this time.
Those who serve supreme causes must not consider what they can get but what they can give.

Sixty years ago today, the United States dropped a nuclear bomb on Nagasaki, Japan, killing 70,000 people. A few days before, a nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, by the United States, killing around 150,000 people. The plane that dropped the bomb was the Enola Gay and the Commander was Robert Lewis.
Commander Lewis said he saw Nagasaki simply disappear. When he did, he wrote one line in his journal. That line is my contribution to One Liner Wednesday. Commander Lewis wrote:
My God, what have we done?

One line from my upcoming novel:
“Amy, my father, Miles Meyer, is married to a woman who won’t let me or my brothers visit him and we are very worried he is ill or that something else is wrong with him.”

A line from my upcoming novel:
“All Wendy knew was that it was torture trying to have sex with Patrick whether she was sober or drunk and it would have been even if she was straight.”

A line from my upcoming novel:
Kate said, “Abby, you don’t know Miles anymore and he could have changed, maybe not in a good way.”

From my upcoming novel:
“I have to talk to Daddy about changing the terms of the pre-nuptial agreement with Miles so I can get out of this terrible marriage,” thought Wendy, as she drove to meet Barb, her long-time lover.

A quote from my upcoming novel:
“Wendy always dresses so old for her age,” thought Miles, “even when we are meeting friends for drinks and dinner.”

A line from my upcoming novel:
Miles planned to have some very hot fun with Abby, then end their relationship in a way she’d never forget.

This is a line from my upcoming novel:
“As the nut-colored trees bent together as if they were whispering, Abby wondered what Miles could possibly want with her at this point in their lives.”
