-- George H. W. Bush

And as small and quiet and unimportant as our fighting may look, perhaps we might all work togetherâ€¦and break out of the prisons of our own making. Perhaps we might be able to keep this fierce and beautiful world of ours as free for all of us as it seemed to be on that blue afternoon of my childhood.”
