The Quick and the Dead

Today I read another Louis L'Amour book on the plane, The Quick and the Dead. I thought this was one of his better books. There's a great quote in the book on page 39. A Young 12 year old is wanting the hero of the book Vallain to teach him how be a hunter and how to sneak through the woods like an Indian and be a frontiersman. Here's what Vallian says:

"Shut up, boy, an' listen." After a moment he said, "Trouble with city folks. Always talkin'. You never learn learn anything when you're talkin', boy, only when you're listenin."
