Kathleen Moore Quotes

I have seen salmon swimming upstream to spawn even with their eyes pecked out. Even as they are dying, as their flesh is falling away from their spines, I have seen salmon fighting to protect their nests. I have seen them push up creeks so small that they rammed themselves across the gravel. I have seen them swim upstream with huge chunks bitten out of their bodies by bears. Salmon are incredibly driven to spawn. They will not give up. This gives me hope.

• Americans are willing to go to enormous trouble and expense defending their principles with arms, very little trouble and expense advocating them with words.

• Though people are more important than money, I'm not convinced these large sums of money paid out to victims is the best.
