Challenges Quotes
-
I have watched them all day and they are the same men that we are. I believe that I could walk up to the mill and knock on the door and I would be welcome except that they have orders to challenge all travelers and ask to see their papers.

They should never be fighting against us and I do not like to think of the killing.

They must find a peak or a ridge that they can reach under their own power alone.
