Quote context
[...]
- Were you going to tell my Tennesseans that a good many men, sound men all, had a plot to ease the suffering of the people in these parts?
- Or were you going to tell them that Steve Austin, Houston and others and you too, Travis, had planned to declare for a republic? To declare this the Republic of Texas?
- Were you gonna tell 'em that, Travis?
- I hadn't thought this was generally known.
- It isn't yet.
- Not till Austin separates the sheep from the goats. Not till he decides who's on the right side.
- Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober. However they choose.
- Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat. Same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and makes his first sound like a man.
- Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words.
- I have, I believe, learned two things about you.
- Worthwhile, I hope.
- You're not the illiterate country bumpkin you would have people believe. You speak an excellent and concise English when you wish. The bad grammar is a pose.
