From Shane (1949)
“He was the man who rode into our little valley out of the heart of the great glowing West and when his work was done rode back whence he had come—and he was Shane.”
From The Canyon (1953)
“The canyon was there, waiting, a deep gash in the earth, ancient and timeless, holding its secrets in the shadows of its walls.”
From Old Ramon (1960)
“A good shepherd knows his sheep, and the sheep know him—not by words, but by the way of living together.”
From Company of Cowards (1957)
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the refusal to let fear rule a man.”
