Stephen Crane

U.S. Writer
"The Red Badge of Courage"
(1871-1900)


A man said to the universe: "Sir, I exist!" "However," replied the universe, "The fact has not created in me a sense of obligation."

(See, the universe does NOT revolve around you....or me....or anyone. It revolves around us all. Each man and woman, in their own unique way is special. One is NOT more important than another.)


You cannot choose your battlefield, God does that for you; But you can plant a standard Where a standard never flew.
