Quote by Larry Flynt

Well, one thing, you got to stand in a courtroom and listen

Summary

This quote emphasizes the value of freedom of expression and how it may be taken for granted until faced with severe consequences. It suggests that only when experiencing a loss of personal liberty, such as being sentenced to a long prison term, does one truly comprehend the significance of expressing oneself freely. It serves as a reminder that we should appreciate and safeguard our right to express our thoughts and opinions while acknowledging that it can be easily jeopardized if we don't protect it.

I force my eyes upward and look at Mia for the first time. She's still beautiful. Not in an obvious Vanessa LeGrande or Bryn Shraeder kind of way. In a quiet way that's always been devastating to me. Her hair, long and dark, is down now, swimming damply against her bare shoulders, which are still milky white and covered with the constellation of freckles that I used to kiss. The scar on her left shoulder, the one that used to be an angry red weld is silvery pink now. Almost like the latest rage in tattoo accessories. Almost pretty.

At times I've got a really big ego. But I'll tell you the best thing about me. I'm some guy's dad I'm some little gal's dad. When I die, if they say I was Annie's husband and Zachary John and Anna Kate's father, boy, that's enough for me to be remembered by. That's more than enough.
