“Love may, indeed, love the beloved when her beauty is lost: but not because it is lost. Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
