This quote stands out to me because it expresses how to get out of his comfort zone in order to find the truth he wants to know. These two sentences of evidence specify how some people may look at life and which path to go down in order to have the best result. ]]> 2021-12-02 17:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rylee_wells/loz5tmy0ew3yxt8y/wish/1925721298 rylee_wells https://padlet.com/rylee_wells/loz5tmy0ew3yxt8y/wish/1925726481 "Without passion or haste, they shot their prisoners, who were forced to approach the trench one by one and offer their necks.
