Heart Quotes

Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners.
Berkeley Breathed

It's special, grandparents and grandchldren. So much simpler. Is it always so, I wonder? I think perhaps it is.

The way to love is free.

Think about all the great leaders. Think about Obama. Think about Clinton. Think about Nelson Mandela.
