SHORT BOOK The Moon is Down by John Steinbeck, 1942
Lesson: when the moon is down, it is only temporary.
"Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. Herd men, followers of a leader, cannot do that, and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars."
MEDIUM BOOK The Grass Harp, 1945 by Truman Capote
Lesson: don't know
"It would be nice to see my first loves again what is there? a dry honeycomb, an empty hornet's nest, other things, or an orange stuck with cloves and a jaybird's egg - when I loved those love collected inside me so that it went flying about like a bird in a sunflower field."
