We place our bodies in God's keeping. We go into battle honorably full of confidence with His name on our lips....Legends of the Fall.
In this movie three brothers go to war together. I'm sure it must have been difficult for families to whom this happened in real life. I have stated before that I believe we are appointed a time to die....and some of Elisabeth Kubler-Ross writings support this. I think that is where my confidence lies....in the fact that death is inevitable and unavoidable so why worry. But as you know I super worry about the little things I can change.
Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy --common clay, if you like --eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead. And then there are the others --the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes....Jean Anouilh.
