Whilst on the beach, Hammond received a very moving talk from a local who had fought in the Vietnam War. The deaf-mute veteran explained to Richard how he had fought on the beach, explaining his thoughts by writing on the sand in English. It concluded with him writing the word “B52,” indicating that the beach had been bombed, and then the word “Deaf.” Hammond left him by saying “This beach, yours. I’ll go”.
Via yellow submarine
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson (via lauragut)(Source: delirioux)
