But that's not all the law is. The law is also memory; the law also records a long-running conversation, a nation arguing with its conscience. Barack Obama

The man was evidently a superb athlete, though it was entirely Mary's fault that she fell asleep afterwards. Elizabeth took control of the company that very afternoon, by a vote of six to one, while a sated Mary slept. And the silly girl never knew what hit her. Barbara Taylor Bradford
I'm a Ronald Reagan conservative, I'm an economic conservative, I'm strong military. But I also voice and speak and work hard on the social issues. Sam Brownback

Which is why every inhabitant of the earth... Robert Musil
